The first release in the Matthew Paulson Mystery series set in Newport Beach, California, revolves around a thirty-five-year-old computer programmer who is desperately in need of female companionship and at the same time totally lacking in any sense of what constitutes a working relationship. His aggressive nature, coupled with his lack of knowledge in the world of muliebrity, finds him locked in two relationships encompassing opposite ends of the spectrum, one of love and one of murder.
