    About this series

    There ain’t no rest for the wicked… In Home Body, the eighth Jack McMorrow Mystery, Jack has reformed his bad boy ways and settled into seeming domestic tranquility with a steady job and a very pregnant Roxane. But the quiet life is short-lived when Jack rescues a young homeless teen from a brutal gang beating. This Good Samaritan gesture rewards him with yet another descent into violence, murder, and the dark underworld of at-risk kids living on the street. As Jack prepares for the birth of his own child, his efforts to save somebody else’s child fail, and he must use all of his reporter’s tricks to track down a stalker. Who is the predator and who is the prey in a world where no one can be trusted? It’s a high stakes game of hide-and-seek; one that Jack can’t afford to lose.

      Family secrets will get out...And the ramifications get gruesome in Pretty Dead, the seventh Jack McMorrow Mystery. In this widely acclaimed addition to the popular series, veteran reporter Jack McMorrow and his partner Roxanne are sent to investigate the alleged physical abuse of a young daughter of a Boston blue blood family. The trappings of elite society threaten to sidetrack Jack’s investigation of the family’s misdoings, until a beautiful woman is found dead and the carefully constructed image of the family’s wealth and power begins to fray. Loyalties are tested and bonds are broken as Jack struggles with one of his most potent adversaries yet: his own ambition.

He began his newspaper career in the paper mill town of Rumford, Maine. There was a lot of small-town crime in Rumford and Gerry would later mine his Rumford time for his first novel, Deadline After a few months he moved on to the Morning Sentinel in Waterville, where editors gave him a thrice-weekly column and he wrote about stuff he saw in police stations and courtrooms in the towns and cities of Maine. All the while he was also typing away on a Smith-Corona electric typewriter, writing Deadline which marked his debut s a novelist in 1993.
