Robbed Blind - Paperback

by Gerry Boyle (Author)

In Robbed Blind, Gerry Boyle's signature character Jack McMorrow returns in a fourteenth novel, beginning a two-book arc that will see the acclaimed series come to an end thirty years after McMorrow first appeared in the now-classic, Deadline. This time around, freelance investigative reporter McMorrow finds himself in the tattered Maine mill city of Clarkston, immersed in an overnight world of store clerks, shelf stockers, and eccentrics as he chases the details of a zombie-masked robber taunting the down-and-out city. But when The New York Times pulls the story and McMorrow can't bring himself to leave, his wife questions why yet another story has gone from assignment to unpaid mission to find a killer.

Author Biography

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, working as a roofer, a postman, and then as a manuscript reader in New York. However, Boyle quickly realized he preferred his adopted northern state to the bustle of Manhattan. His first reporting job was in the paper mill town of Rumford, Maine, before 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 in 1993. He continues to write gritty, authentic mysteries featuring his signature character, Jack McMorrow.
