"Obsession can be deadly.
What's worse than a missing man?
A dead one.
Following a messy divorce and the messier death of his partner, Detective Frank Luca needed a break. He needed sunlight and clean air. He needed a re-boot. So, he's traded the smog of New Jersey for the sun-kissed beaches of southwest Florida. Babes, bikinis, and booze.
The easy life, right? Wrong.
Working a missing persons case, Frank gets pulled back into the filth he's tried so hard to avoid. Worse, he's falling for the missing man's beautiful wife.
Who does that?
Florida may be beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep. There's rot under all that beauty--and death.
Jammed with betrayal, tension, and suspense, Vanished is the first novel in the Luca Mystery series.

"In the face of a death-defying power, what's the 'new normal'?
Like all reporters, Jack longs for a breaking story but is stuck writing obituaries for a small-town rag. As his frustration mounts, it hits him that no one has died in over three days. Jack's odd observation becomes something far stranger when he connects a meteorite to the bizarre phenomenon.
Seizing the opportunity, Jack breaks the story and after a struggle to control the meteorite’s power is resolved, a swelling population begins to create havoc.
With the survival of the human race hanging in the balance, politicians enact increasingly horrific measures and desperate citizens take matters into their own hands.
Jack's in a position to not just report the news, but change it, and his decisions and observations creates an epic thriller that pits the potential of human immortality against a force designed to change - or obliterate - humanity itself.
Only one man might stand in its way ... the man buried in the obits department.
The Final Enemy is a story of social disintegration as well as a saga of survival. Secret plans, starvation, suicide, and a series of events that spiral the human race into a desperate survival mode evolve from a seemingly singular event and leads to a fast-paced action story that delights with its penchant for the unexpected. In the Matthew Mather and A.G. Riddle tradition, The Final Enemy is a gripping blend of thriller and science fiction that will prove hard to put down."
