After recovering from her nearly fatal exposure to a terrorist's deadly virus (read A Necessary End), Officer Katie Maguire and her best friend, Officer Marty Goldman, are rewarded for helping to save the world from a global pandemic with a one week Caribbean cruise aboard the MS Atlantis Pearl. The trip is going well until the ship docks in Kingston, Jamaica, where things quickly take a turn for the worse. Their problems start when Katie and Marty decide to go on a horseback riding excursion into the mysterious Blue Mountains located in the eastern tip of the large tropical island. Formerly a haven for pirates, it is said that the mountains and adjacent castle ruins along the coastline still harbor the ghosts of these long-dead buccaneers. The two Miami cops, along with their superstitious Jamaican trail guide and seven other members of the tour group, must soon deal with one disaster after another along the isolated horse trail. And then they discover they are not alone.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good read,
By Chris Forman (Hudson Valley, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seed of Thetis (Paperback)
Let's see, what happens when you take a tall beautiful blonde police officer, her friends, pirates, Greek mythology, Jamaica, PT boats, horses, and some topless women and mix them all up? You get Gerry Mackey's new novel, Seed of Thesis.
Oh, did I mention a tall beautiful blonde woman? That would be Katie Maguire; South Beach Florida's new police recruit whom Mackay damn near killed of in her first outing, A Necessary End. I'm not giving plot away as this is a series. Katie and her buddy Marty are on a cruise to recover from their last adventure when they take a horseback tour up the mountains. On that journey, there is an accident and Katie and company run into a group of pirates whose leader claims to be a descendent of the Greek hero Achilles. Things get tight, but Katie is a master of martial arts, and a quick thinking, level headed woman. Plus, her captors think she's a sorceress. Katie risks her life to save those of her friends, and some of her friends become heroes in their own right. Mackey sets up a nice story that has a fast-paced ending that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good action thriller with a strong female lead. Be careful though, Katie Maguire will grow on you.

Seed of Thetis is mythology for Good!,
By Det. 769 (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seed of Thetis (Paperback)
Katie and her pals are back. A simple vacation turns into a who done it. Trapped on vacation in another country, Katie must defend herself and others. Can Katie take on pirates while both lost and stranded. She's unarmed except for her charms. If you do Vooodoo then this one's for you. Who knew an ex-cop could have such a vivid imagination.
"A Necessary End" on steroids. You won't want to put it down. Beauty and brains really are a good combination.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Seed of Thetis, great read for a cold winter day,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Seed of Thetis (Paperback)
Okay with the dreary days of winter approaching, you might be looking for a inexpensive stayvacation escape to perk you up. Then "the Seed of Thetis" is just the book for you. Beautiful women, nice sunny, warm Caribbean setting, adventure, interesting blend of characters, what is not to like. Mix yourself a nice adult beverage, turn the heat up and pick this book up to transport you the beauty of Jamaica, with enough action to keep you turning the pages until you reach the unexpected finish.
Shoveling the snow can wait, time to get your Katie Maguire fix and relax in Jamaica. I grew up reading Alistair McLean as a kid, find Gerry Mackey's work similar, but with a much warmer setting and cuter leading character.
