Port City Crossfire, Paperback

When a Bank Teller is Found Dead in Portland Harbor, Officer Brandon Blake Defies Orders in Port City Rat Trap, a Brandon Blake Mystery from Gerry Boyle

--Present Day, Portland, Maine--

Having just returned to duty following the fatal shooting of a teen, Officer Brandon Blake is eager to settle into "normal" when a local bank teller is found dead, floating near his live-aboard cabin cruiser in Portland Harbor.

The death ruled accidental, Blake, who has been warned about pushing beyond his jurisdiction, wonders how the young woman could have accidentally fallen over a five-foot fence.

Blake's ensuing investigation puts him at loggerheads with his own department as well as the New York City Mob. But as he continues to dig into the case, he may be digging his own grave.

Publisher Note: Gerry Boyle's journalistic background brings a gritty authenticity to his writing that transports readers into a realm they won't want to leave. Fans of Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, and Lee Child, as well as Ed McBain, will enjoy the Brandon Blake Series.
