It's been seven years since Jack McMorrow moved to small-town Maine.
Seven years of stringing stories--and murders--together in the backwoods
has been an adventure, sure, but it has also meant a big dent in the
paycheck. In this, the sixth installment of Islandport's updated and
revised paperback and e-book editions of the internationally
best-selling Jack McMorrow series, the mast head has changed at the New
York Times, and Jack is invited back to cover his old Metro beat. Unsure
at first, Jack quickly finds his feet, moving swiftly into the incessant
hustle and flow of the city. Then, the Mayor is murdered in a hotel
restroom, and Jack gets the ultimate cover story--or so he thinks. But
the phone is ringing and the questions aren't friendly. Jack is about to
become the prime suspect in his own story. Called an "outstanding crime
novel" by Booklist when it was first published in 2000, Cover Story is
Boyle at his best.
