Mouse Trap

Praise for Matt Cost's Clay Wolfe / Port Essex Mysteries:

"Set on the midcoast of Maine, Wolfe Trap introduces us to an eccentric and interesting cast of characters in this first installment in the Port Essex Mystery series. This gripping plot moves with lightning speed until its explosive and thrilling conclusion. Here we have murder, drug-smuggling lobstermen, art theft, and budding romance. Despite our hero's hard-drinking and prolific womanizing, Clay Wolfe is a sympathetic and likable character. Cost's jam-packed plot should appeal to all lovers of private detective fiction. I eagerly look forward to next book in this series."

-Joseph Souza, acclaimed author of The Perfect Daughter

"Matt Cost's MIND TRAP pits former homicide detective turned private investigator Clay Wolfe against a dangerous cult leader in the town of Port Essex, Maine... a twisted and chilling tale of control and manipulation. The ultimate 'what if' on steroids."

-Bruce Robert Coffin, award-winning author of the Detective Byron Mysteries

"...an absorbing read. It's not only filled with twists and turns that will delight murder mystery fans, but adds psychological insights that will attract readers who look for depth in their stories. It's a top recommendation for prior fans, but stands nicely alone for newcomers. MIND TRAP deserves a spot in any collection strong in murder mystery writing."
