Description

Clay Wolfe is a former Boston homicide detective who has left the police department to return home to Maine to care for his elderly grandfather and open a private detective agency. Haunted by being orphaned at an early age, and jaded by the corruption of the big city, Clay is happy to hit pause and investigate minor crimes. When he is hired to find out who sold the drugs that killed a six-month-old baby girl, he has no idea of the evil that he is going to uncover in the underbelly of his hometown. Wolfe Trap is a thrilling ride set in a small Maine town with rich characters and shocking plot twists that will keep the reader rapt until the final pages.

Advance Praise

Praise for Matt Cost:

“My first impression on beginning to read a new mystery novel, Mainely Power, was this: Boston has Robert B. Parker and Maine has M. Langdon Cost.… Parker’s hero, Spenser, has his dog, the memorable Pearl, and Cost’s hero has his four-footed companion, Coffee Dog. Beyond that, Cost… has crafted a private detective, Goff Langdon, whom Spenser might well meet for a few beers if a big-city case brought him to town.… Langdon is backed by a varied band of friends, male and female, who give real life to the book. Seldom has a mystery focused on men given better, stronger portraits of women than Cost gives of women in this book.” —Maine Sunday Telegram

“Very engaging, kind of quirky and descriptive without actually using too many words. The characters are amazing - you get a real sense for who they are and the way they interact gives great colour to the whole plot. The setting was perfect for both the characters and the story. I really enjoyed this and recommend it for people who enjoy traditional ‘small town’ mysteries.”
—Louise Gray for NetGalley, 5 Star Review, on Mainely Power
