Straw Man

The 11th Jack McMorrow mystery from the author of Once Burned delivers "gripping suspense, fast action, and surprising twists" (The Morning Sentinel). Winner of the 2017 Maine Literary Award for Crime Fiction When worlds collide, few are spared the collateral damage―least of all crime reporter Jack McMorrow, who has learned the hard way that trouble blooms where the cracks in human relationships meet. In this installment of the bestselling McMorrow mystery series, veteran author Gerry Boyle takes his readers into territory all-too familiar from the daily headlines: illegal gun sales, culture clashes between old and new, cyberbullying, and the random violence that poses a threat to even the closest of communities. Prosperity, Maine, is no longer the refuge from the real world that it once was, and Jack, and his wife, Roxanne, are forced to face their most destructive enemy yet––each other. "Straw Man is a great book to take on a plane, to the beach or to bed if you don t really want to sleep. Boyle is a deft craftsman and a wonderful storyteller. With Straw Man, he sets high expectations from the start, and he doesn't disappoint." —Frank O. Smith, Portland Press Herald
