When 23 year old Katie Maguire graduated from the Miami police academy, she was ready to begin her new career with the South Beach Police Department. That's when Sergeant Steve Callaghan approached her for a special undercover assignment . . . as an underage prostitute. An easy detail, with very little danger. That is, until Murphy's Law took over. Suddenly, the FBI and CIA were involved, as was the mysterious Mr. Smith and his team of mercenaries. The previously routine South Beach vice investigation had now become an international incident involving hostile governments and weapons of mass destruction. Unaware of what was going on, Katie got caught in the middle of the whole mess, finding herself being held captive aboard a luxury yacht, heading halfway around the globe. Her captor was dashing and handsome, and despite her predicament, Katie found herself falling for him. Unfortunately Death had finally caught up to Katie and, with a tenacious grip, was preparing to drag her into oblivion.

More About the Author
GERRY MACKEY, whose father and grandfather were both NYPD police officers, is a retired Miami Beach cop. Prior to starting his career with MBPD, Gerry earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology and Science Education from Florida State University. After graduating college in 1977, he taught Physics to seniors at a Catholic high school in Miami. Although he enjoyed teaching tremendously, the salary was much too low. By chance, a friend talked him into applying for a job with the City of Miami Beach and, after placing at the top of the eligibility list, began his law enforcement career in February 1981. 22½ years later, Gerry and his wife Kathy, a psychiatric RN and Captain in the US Army Reserves, (and their 4 dogs) retired to a 4 acre property in Tennessee. They enjoy hiking in the nearby Smoky Mountains and boating on Dale Hollow Lake. To learn more about the author, check his profiles at katiemaguirenovels.com and on Facebook.

"A Necessary End" - an interesting and intriguing novel,
By
This review is from: A Necessary End (Paperback)
Gerry Mackey, the author of "A Necessary End" is a retired south Florida police officer. I am also a retired cop from south Florida and I found Gerry's writing style to be fresh and very entertaining. He definitely kept my interest throughout the entire book. There are a lot of different twists and turns that take place and Gerry skillfully manages to bring everything together nicely. His characters are believable and anyone who knows how police officers think and act will not be disappointed by Gerry's writing. There was only once during the entire book that I became disappointed, and that was when I reached the end. It was one of those books that I just couldn't put down. At the end of the book Gerry leaves the reader hanging just a little, and I know this was by design and not by accident. I'm sure there will be a sequel and I look forward to reading it too.

Great Adventure,

This review is from: A Necessary End (Paperback)
I've read both "Seed of Thetis" and "A Necessary End". What a fun adventure. The characters are interesting and make you root for them throughout the book. Katie is every man's fantasy girl. She is the female version of James Bond without the attitude. Beautiful, innocent and not to be messed with. I can't wait until the next book comes out. This is just the start of Katie's career, you know there are many more dangerous adventures looming ahead. Keep working Gerry Mackey, I can't take a flight now until I have a Katie Maguire book to read.

A Necessary Read,
By Det. 769 (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This book is fiction but partly based on the author's experience as a Miami Beach Police Officer. The charactors are fresh and all too real. You will find yourself spell bound wondering if this could actually happen. It could! The life of a police officer is both interesting and exciting. Now imagine your a rookie female asked to go undercover, before you know what's happening the plan falls apart and your on your own.

By the end of the story you will feel as if you are friends with Katie, Marty & the rest of the South Beach Police team.
