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. "MAINELY MAYHEM is another detailed and intriguing story of suspense, secrets and lies. Once again, the premise is edgy, dark, and startling; the characters are eclectic, larger than life and determined. MAINELY MAYHEM is another thought-provoking tale that makes you reconsider what secrets lie behind the people at the top." ~~The Reading Cafe "The story was full of twists, turns, and intrigue. Cost does an excellent job keeping the tension up from start to finish, while keeping the characters true to themselves even in the face of serious danger. Although I'm not always a fan of political mystery/thrillers, this was so well done I just didn't want to stop reading. I can't wait to see what mystery lands in Langdon's lap next!" ~~The Faerie Review "I enjoy the characters in the book. The story was really exciting and there were quite a few twists I did not see coming. The characters are well developed, fleshed out and complex. The mystery is so enjoyable, just when you think you know what's going to happen, you don't! Highly recommend!" ~~Miss W Reviews "With a fast-paced storyline, well-plotted mystery, and captivating characters, Mainely Mayhem is an unputdownable mystery you simply must read!" ~~Novels Alive, Lori Van Buren "The narrative starts out slowly and feels mysterious until it builds and the danger progresses through the pages. I enjoyed reading from the beginning but by the middle I was glued to the pages and I love that there is a dog! If you know me, you know I love all things involving dogs! The ending came as a pleasant surprise." ~~Leanne's Book Reviews MAYHEM is everywhere. Things were not right in Brunswick. Chabal is wracked by the nightmare that had been the Wendigo.

But there are questions about the man's past that Langdon couldn't shake, a past that just might live in the present. Who is the mysterious Mayhem? But that had all changed when Mayhem had killed Michael Levy. Zip-zap and the man was twitching and convulsing on the ground. That had been a real shocker. Mayhem giggled a bit to themselves as they realized their funny. Shocking. It had been shocking. Brunswick was an idyllic town. And then Mayhem descended. Langdon and dog breezed out the front door onto the only Maine Street in the state. There were wide sidewalks, four lanes of traffic, raised crosswalks, and small trees providing shade. To the right, up the hill, was the First Parish Church and behind it, Bowdoin College. Straight ahead led up the coast to popular tourist destinations such as Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, Camden, and Bar Harbor. Behind them was LL Bean, Portland, a series of upscale towns, and then the exit from Maine and the rest of the country. Langdon and dog turned left, toward the Androscoggin River and the Green Bridge which separated Brunswick from Topsham. Chabal raised her hands over her head, the flickering flames of the fire dancing across her body and began to chant nonsense. Langdon caught Susie staring at him. He shrugged. Pursed his lips. "Then the king fucking bastard, the Wendigo himself, came and told me what he was going to do to me. How he was going to gut me and bleed me out, my life leaking from my still breathing body, and how he was going to make a fucking stew of me. And then he was going to eat me, and we would be one and the same and together for all of time." Chabal looked a
