About The Book

This first book in a new series is set in and around the Portland, Maine, waterfront. It introduces Brandon Blake, a loner who lives on his old wooden cruiser. Raised by his alcoholic grandmother after his mother was lost at sea, Blake learned to depend on himself. During an assignment for a law-enforcement class, Blake gets involved in a fight and is marked for payback by a soon-to-be-released convict. Meanwhile, questions surface about his mother's disappearance.

Gerry Boyle is the genuine article.

Brandon Blake is a solid series lead . . . Keep your eyes on this one.

– Booklist

Stops just short of hard-boiled, letting some poignancy slip into his character’s plights.
