In PORT CITY SHAKEDOWN, the first Brandon Blake novel, Brandon gets a full dose of bad guys. A brawl in a funeral home introduces him to Joel Fuller, a sociopathic hustler. Fuller is fresh out of jail and determined to take Brandon out—after Fuller and his sidekick Kelvin shake him down.
Rocky isn’t a tough guy. He’s a skinny little kid with crooked glasses, and he shouldn’t be homeless in Portland, Maine. When McMorrow and Roxanne pluck him from under the stomping feet of a gang of street kids, Rocky latches onto McMorrow–and drags him into a world of murder, both old and new. Why is McMorrow protecting Rocky? The cops want to know. Why is Rocky on the run? McMorrow wants to know. Why does death follow in Rocky’s wake? Jack and Roxanne need to find out before they’re added to the list.

I’m so glad to see that you’re going to be part of the Boothbay authors event. I just wish MWPA would understand that this is always held the same weekend as the Blues Festival, which is not a good idea. I’m going to write to them to see if they would consider eventually changing the date….this happens every year….I’ll look at the list of events to find other places where my family can find you and McMorrow #9 …can’t wait!
Sorry we missed you…we’re playing at the Summer Solstice tonight in Rockland. Glad to see you’re coming to Camden, even though it’s not until Sept. We will catch you sooner or later. All the best, Ronna DeLoe
Hope the gig went well. I’m sure our paths will cross soon.
