Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A Necessary End" - an interesting and intriguing novel, February 7, 2008

By	Gary P. Jones "Badge 149" (Tallahassee, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

By	George M. Lerra (Miami Beach) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is great reading. The book is intriguing, suspenseful, sexy, humorous and action filled. The author makes this fictional story almost believable. You really get to know the main characters in the book. It is easy reading so you can pick it up at anytime however it is hard to put down.

I don't remember the last time that I read a fictional book that I could actually recommend. I am looking forward to reading the sequel book in the future. This book could be recreated into a good movie.
