The Severance Trilogy
A journey through murder, loss, conspiracy, and ultimate revenge.
London detective Nick Severance steps outside the law and puts his freedom on the line. What options does he have?
Book One - A Terminal Agenda
A cop with an unblemished record. A murder in a London Street. An investigation that could end his career.
When DCI Nick Severance investigates what appears to be a routine murder, he is drawn into a plot that could bring death to thousands and destroy everything and everyone he cares about. Before it’s all over, he will make a choice that changes his life forever.
Book Two - A Trade to Die For
Nick’s first assignment in his new career is to play babysitter to a retired MI6 agent. But when he finds out why the agent needs help, things get complicated. He becomes involved in a battle to keep them both alive while trying to untangle the web of lies, deceit, and murder that created this situation in the first place. His first assignment might just be his last.
Book Three - The Revenge Season
A brutal murder close to home. An old adversary with a grudge. A final act of revenge. But whose revenge?
When pharmaceutical researcher Julian Frost is brutally murdered, Nick Severance is asked to investigate. The case takes Nick to Peru, where he meets some new and interesting people, some of whom would like him dead.
While he attempts to survive their unique brand of hospitality, a new threat emerges in the form of someone from his past, who thinks this is the perfect moment for retribution.
If you like suspense thrillers with an international flavor, then you’ll enjoy these three tense tales of murder, conspiracy, and revenge.

About the author
Mark McKay
14 books19 followersMark McKay did a number of things before becoming a novelist – van driver, wine salesman, psychiatric orderly, Santa Claus at a major department store… He also spent many years working in the IT industry. After studying creative writing with the University of East Anglia in the UK, he wrote his first novel. Once bitten by the writing bug (for which there’s no cure), more novels followed.
When he isn’t writing, Mark is either reading, struggling to master the guitar, learning aikido (useful research), trying to find time to get out more, and looking for new and unusual experiences that might one day find their way into a book. His goal as a writer is to produce another 50 novels by the age of 100. His goal as a guitar player is to get beyond three chords. He’s pretty sure he can do it (the guitar bit, at least).

Booked on Severance
Would not put this trilogy down until all three novels were read. McKay takes the reader to multiple continents. Customs and traditions are explained without speaking down to the reader. Lots of intrigue and twists make this trilogy a page turner.

Different from your typical mysteries
This book uses unconventional settings, weapons, characters and their skills to make a truly unusual story line. The plots are complex but manageable. Very enjoyable reading.

Readable
I enjoyed the first of the trilogy more than the next two as the stories became more fancible and violent.
A good book doesn't need violence to be enjoyed.

Really good read
All three books flowed seamlessly together for a very absorbing read. Difficult to put down but very easy to get back into. Interesting locations with several twists to keep you interested.
