"Tense ... convincing and gracefully told. Gerry Boyle is the genuine article."—Robert B. Parker

Fired from the local paper for stirring things up, McMorrow has a new home in the cheerful-sounding town of Prosperity, Maine. A cold beer and a clean slate is all he's after, but nothing ever goes easy for Jack. When a freelance gig leads him to a vulnerable teen mother and some high school hooligans, it quickly transcends child’s play: A girl is murdered  and Jack’s investigation places him  squarely in the killer’s sights. Bloodline, the second book in Boyle's masterful 14-book McMorrow series, cements his hero as one of the original bad-boy investigators with a heart of gold.

Like many crime novelists, Gerry Boyle began his writing career in newspapers, an industry he calls the “best training ground ever.” After graduating from Colby College, Gerry knocked around, taking stints as a roofer, a postman, and a manuscript reader in New York. However, his time in the city was cut short when Boyle realized that he preferred his adopted northern state to the bustle of Manhattan. His first reporting job was in the paper mill town of Rumford, Maine. After a few months, he moved on to the (Waterville) Morning Sentinel, where editors learned quickly that he worked best when left to his own devices, and Boyle learned that the line between upstanding citizen and outlaw is a fine one, indeed. His experiences as a reporter inspired his first novel, Deadline, published in 1993. Boyle has now written eleven gritty, authentic mysteries featuring his signature character Jack McMorrow.
