If you’re here from the Murder * by * 4 ( blog where I’ve got a guest post today), welcome to gerryboyle.com. I’d love you to poke around, read about my books, and my posts on writing, . If you like what you see, spread the word.
If you’re not coming from Murder *by*4, you should check it out. Four mystery writers—Aaron Paul Lazar, Marta Stephens, s.w. vaughn, and Kim Smith—who all have something interesting to say about what they do, how and why they do it. It’s one of the better sites like this that I’ve come across.














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.
