! Matthew has completed his first "Zach Brandis" mystery novel...

There's no reason Zach Brandis should care that Alex Penworth ended up dead. Alex's own family is disinterested. The cops are asking all the wrong questions and coming up with all the wrong answers. Only Alex's roommate Cynthia wants to get to the bottom of it. Zach has way too much time on his hands. Once a successful attorney, now he's the super of a five-story brownstone. So Zach decides to go along for the ride. After all, Cynthia's gorgeous. Maybe Zach can be a knight in shining armor, maybe he just needs something to do, and maybe, just maybe, it'll help him figure out what he's doing with his own life. But what starts out as curiosity turns dangerous, and Zach learns that you have to keep one eye open IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND.
