It's a hot Boston summer, and Nick Young, a washed-up journalist back in town to care for his dying father, is feeling the heat. Using his old skills to solve a mystery before the police do – to connect the dots between a major labor strike, a violent Occupy-style movement, and a murder that may involve his best friend's teen son.

Ron MacLean, author of new book Headlong, will sign copies of the book, which is a literary thriller about fathers, sons, eco-terrorism, death, immaturity, anarchism, friendship and failure.

"...provocative and utterly believable."
– Kirkus Reviews

"A gripping, timely novel about the news business, labor politics, protest, and murder. It has the grace to be empathetic with all sides of a hard fight where no one has clean hands, and ultimately presents a tale of redemption and hope arising from even the most impossible circumstances."
– Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Homeland
