Freeport Community Library will host an evening with Maine crime novelist Gerry Boyle on Friday at 7 p.m.
In 1993, Boyle’s first novel, “Deadline,” introduced the world to Jack McMorrow, a New York Times reporter who had relocated to the remote mill town of Androscoggin, Maine, to run a weekly newspaper. When the newspaper’s photographer is found drowned in a paper mill canal, McMorrow realizes that even this small town is a dangerous place for anyone digging into its secrets.

This event is offered free of charge to the general public with limited seating. The library’s community meeting doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
