The acclaimed Matt Jacob series by Zachary Klein - now together in an ebook box set for the first time ever.
This box set includes all four books in the Matt Jacob series,
STILL AMONG THE LIVING In this New York Times Notable Book, Boston P.I. Matt Jacob has a cloudy past and a P.I. license gathering dust. And what begins as two simple favors soon turns into a fight for his life when the unrelated cases combine to snare Matt into a web of adultery, betrayal, and murder.
TWO WAY TOLL When a ragged figure from his past shows up, Matt winds up back in the Combat Zone--but this time, his chances of getting out again are much slimmer. Now Matt faces demons from his past as well as a psychopath bent on killing him when he investigates two ominously similar deaths occurring twenty years apart.
NO SAVING GRACE In the midst of a holy celebration, a powerful and beloved rabbi is gunned down by the ringleader of a white supremacist hate group -- who in turn is shot dead by another rabbi. To help attorney and friend Simon Roth defend the volatile Rabbi Yonah Saperstein, Matt agrees to ferret out the first-hand facts in the double slaying.
TIES THAT BLIND When Matt looks to uncover the truth behind a friend's attempted suicide, he finds that everything he has worked so hard for could end in an his sobriety, his relationships with loved ones, even his own life.
I'm the author of the critically acclaimed Matt Jacob mystery series, which includes Still Among the Living, Two Way Toll, and No Saving Grace. I think of myself as a “serial careerist." I've worked as a Vista volunteer and a private counselor for individuals, couples, and groups. I was a founder of the People’s School in Uptown, Chicago, a school for high school dropouts. I also worked at Boston’s Project Place when it was a worker-run social service collective that provided free crisis intervention and other community services. And, I served as the Clinical Supervisor for one of Boston's methadone clinics.
For the past decade and change, I’ve consulted with various national attorneys as a trial and jury consultant.
E-book versions of Still Among the Living, Two Way Toll, and No Saving Grace are currently available via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, SmashWords, and other major sites. A new Matt Jacob mystery, Ties that Blind, is also on the way. It will be available as an E-book and via print on demand (POD). In Ties that Blind, Matt becomes entangled in the dysfunctional family of his father-in-law's new love interest. As Matt deals with drive-by shootings and suspicious accidents, he struggles with his own fears about the growing attachments to the people in his life.
In addition to writing new Matt Jacob mysteries, I've been learning music and the sax with a very tolerant and supportive teacher, and I play in an eight-person ensemble. I live in Boston with my partner, Susan E. Goodman, a children’s book author (http://www.susangoodmanbooks.com), and have two sons, Matthew and Jacob, and a daughter-in-law, Alyssa.
