Overview
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.
