Black River

by G.M. Ford

Genres: Mystery; Suspense

Synopsis

Frank Corso, the only writer allowed to observe the proceedings of the high-profile, tight-security trial of a thug charged with sixty-three counts of murder, is in the middle of a media-circus - a real nightmare for a loner type like himself.

And that's before he finds out that his close friend, photojournalist Meg Dougherty, is in Intensive Care after a run-in with a couple of hoods.

It doesn't take long for the smart, hardened reporter to realize there's a mysterious connection between the story Meg was chasing and the courtroom spectacle he's witnessing. Never a man to play it safe, Frank will follow a twisted trail of lies, brutality and rage to avenge his friend and mete out his own style of justice.

'G. M. Ford is one of my favorite contemporary crime writers. Hilarious, provocative, and as cool as a March night in Seattle, he may be the best-kept secret in mystery novels. With the exhilarating FURY, he's at top of his game and that's as good as it gets' DENNIS LEHANE
