Mainely Fear by Matt Cost

"I want you to find out who is responsible for ruining his life and I want them to pay for it."

This is the desire of Latricia Jones as she hires Goff Langdon to investigate her son's arrest for burglary, vandalism, and possibly hate crimes.

Langdon is a laid back, slacker detective, happy with his work, friends, and way of life in the town of Brunswick, Maine. To complement his income in Brunswick's scarce private detective market, Langdon also owns and operates a mystery bookstore named after his trusted companion, Coffee Dog.

He was on the fast track to success. And then something happened.

Jamal Jones is an eighteen-year-old rising star attending a post-grad prep school in central Maine to bring his grades up so he can play college basketball at the D1 level. Then he is arrested for crimes that his mother knows he committed, but not why. She's sure someone has put him up to it, the behavior so unlike him as to be unthinkable, especially since Jamal was on the verge of beginning a better life. Latricia wants Langdon to track down those responsible for her son's sudden turn from grace, and she wants them to pay.


Cost, Matt: - Over the years, Matt Cost (aka Matthew Langdon Cost) has a video store, a mystery bookstore, and a gym. He has also taught history and coached just about every sport imaginable. During those years-since age eight, actually-his true passion has been writing. I Am Cuba: Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution (Encircle Publications, March, 2020) was his first traditionally published novel. Mainely Power, the first of the Mainely Mysteries featuring private detective Goff Langdon, was published by Encircle in September, 2020, followed by book two, Mainely Fear, in December, 2020, and book three, Mainely Money, in March of 2021. Also from Encircle Publications are his Clay Wolfe / Port Essex Mystery series: Wolfe Trap (June 23, 2021), Mind Trap (October 6, 2021), and Mouse Trap (April 13, 2022); as well as his new historical fiction novel, Love in a Time of Hate (August 25, 2021). 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.
