Synopsis
This is hardworking Maine, poverty Maine, where the local economy of the town of Androscoggin is ruled by the paper mill...It's where Jack McMorrow, a former "New York Times" metro reporter has come to take over the local weekly...When a seemingly friendless and ineffective staff photographer is found drowned in the river, McMorrow wonders why, and wonders why the local police don't wonder more...The rhythms of the weekly newspaper work a wonderful counterpoint to the building tension of McMorrow's investigation, and the writing is sharp and evocative without being showy.

About the Author
Like many crime novelists Gerry Boyle began his writing career in newspapers a place he calls the best training ground ever. After attending Colby College, he knocked around at various jobs, including stints as a roofer, a postman, and a manuscript reader at a big New York publisher. He began his newspaper career in the paper mill town of Rumford, Maine. There was a lot of small-town crime in Rumford and Gerry would later mine his Rumford time for his first novel, DEADLINE. After a few months he moved on to the Maine Morning Sentinel in Waterville, where editors gave his a thrice-weekly column and he wrote about stuff he saw in police stations, courtrooms, in the towns and cities of Maine. All the while he was also typing away on a Smith-Corona electric typewriter, writing Deadline which came out in 1993. Since Deadline, he has written 8 additional Jack McMorrow stories with a 10th scheduled for release in 2015."
Synopsis
When newspaper editor Jack McMorrow moves to Maine to get away for the rat race of the big city, his investigation into the St. Amand Paper Company leads to murder and kidnapping.
