Description
Things are not right in Brunswick. Chabal is wracked by the nightmare that was the Wendigo. Langdon is hired to investigate the questionable moral integrity of one of Brunswick's favorite sons and gets thunked in the head and left to die on a boat mooring in the Atlantic Ocean. And that is just the beginning of the bad.
Judge Cornelius Remington is being fast-tracked to be a Supreme Court Justice-why? After only a five-day investigation of Remington, Langdon is pulled from the case, suggesting that the judge had already been rubberstamped and that the White House staff and FBI were just going through the motions. But there are questions about the man's past that Langdon can't shake, a past that might still live in the present.
"Welcome to Maine: The Way Life Should Be." Or so the billboard reads upon entering the state. But that was before MAYHEM, a corruption born in Brunswick that has seeped throughout the state and is threatening the entire nation.
It is up to Langdon to find and stop MAYHEM before it is too late. And the clock is ticking.

Person
Matt Cost (aka Matthew Langdon Cost) is the highly acclaimed, award-winning author of the Mainely Mystery series. The first book, Mainely Power, was selected as the Maine Humanities Council Read ME Fiction Book of 2020. This was followed by Mainely Fear, Mainely Money, Mainely Angst, Mainely Wicked, and the newest, Mainely Mayhem. Cost is also the author of the Clay Wolfe / Port Essex Mysteries, Wolfe Trap, Mind Trap, Mouse Trap, Cosmic Trap, and Pirate Trap, published by Encircle in March 2024. I Am Cuba was his first traditionally published novel. His other historical novels are Love in a Time of Hate (August 2021), and At Every Hazard (August 2022). His love of history and mystery is combined in his 1920s Brooklyn 8 Ballo series starting with Velma Gone Awry (April 2023) and continuing with City Gone Askew (July 2024). Cost was a history major at Trinity College. He owned a mystery bookstore, a video store, and a gym, before serving a ten-year sentence as a junior high school teacher. In 2014, he was released and he began writing. And that's what he does: he writes histories and mysteries. Cost now lives in Brunswick, Maine, with his wife, Harper. There are four grown children: Brittany, Pearson, Miranda, and Ryan. A chocolate Lab and a basset hound round out the mix. He now spends his days at the computer, writing.
