Potshot

"Boyle has a wonderful sense of place--in this case, Maine, where Jack McMorrow has fled to escape the workaholic drive that led him to become a top reporter for the New Yolk Times Now he works as a freelancer, which leads him into places most reporters avoid. McMorrow is enlisted by a group of old hippies to do a story on the legalization of marijuana. What appears to be a worthy cause--and a quick $300 paycheck--quickly escalates into confrontations with violent gangsters ... Along with snappy dialog that propels the story, Boyle presents an ensemble of likable characters. A sure thing for anyone who has enjoyed Robert Parker's Spenser novels."
