Deadline: A Jack McMorrow Novel

This is hardworking Maine, poverty Maine, where the local economy of the town of Androscoggin is ruled by the paper mill...It's where Jack McMorrow, a former "New York Times" metro reporter has come to take over the local weekly...When a seemingly friendless and ineffective staff photographer is found drowned in the river, McMorrow wonders why, and wonders why the local police don't wonder more...The rhythms of the weekly newspaper work a wonderful counterpoint to the building tension of McMorrow's investigation, and the writing is sharp and evocative without being showy.
