On a travel story about Benedict Arnold, freelance reporter Jack McMorrow traces the route of the infamous historical figure up the Kennebec River into Quebec, Canada. When a man fails to rejoin his bus tour in the Northern Maine town of Scanesett, Jack makes a pit stop there to help authorities find him and soon finds himself entangled with a bunch of lethal small-town hoods who make bad sport of the weak and defenseless. Threatened, beaten up, and forced into a terrifying game of redneck hide-and-seek, McMorrow faces his most ruthless criminals yet. This, the fifth installment of Islandport’s updated and revised paperback and e-book editions of the internationally best-selling Jack McMorrow series, takes its readers across state lines into the tangled world of mistaken identities, traitorous dealings, and a dangerous hunt for a man no one seems to know much about. Originally published in 1998, Islandport edition includes new introduction by author.

The grandson of Irish immigrants, Boyle was born in Chicago.
His parents soon moved to Rhode Island, where he graduated from high school in Warwick. He graduated from Colby College in Maine, Class of 1978, majoring in literature, and began to write short stories and poetry.
Boyle"s first career was in journalism. He began as a reporter at the Rumford Falls Times, a weekly in Rumford, a Maine paper-mill town, then moved to the Morning Sentinel, a daily in Waterville, Maine, his old college town, going on to become a full-time columnist on the paper. As Boyle traveled around Maine looking for stories, he invented a freelance journalist-detective called Jack McMorrow.
The first McMorrow mystery, Deadline, was published in 1993.
Two years later, it was followed by Bloodline, and there are now nine books in the series. Boyle left the Morning Sentinel in 1999 but until 2001 continued to write a column for the paper from time to time.
In 2000, he became editor of Colby Magazine. Boyle married Mary Victoria Foley, a schoolteacher.
They have three children and live in China, Maine.
