Book 4 – The Imperfect Assassin
How far would you go to serve your country?


Take a woman, whose physical abilities have been enhanced by the latest genetic technology. Train her to use them to kill enemies of the state. Put her out in the field and let her do her job. And when she’s done your bidding and she’s no more use to you, decommission her with extreme prejudice. If you can.

Book 5 – The Brexit Affair
Change Demands Sacrifice


It is 2019 and three years after the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union, negotiations drag on. Scotland has voted ‘Yes’ to independence and Northern Ireland is about to hold its own referendum on whether to stay in the UK or join the Republic. Britain’s future is uncertain.

Nick Severance is on a visit to the UK from Japan when he is contacted by Gabriel Johnston of MI6. One of Johnston’s agents has disappeared after taking delivery of a brand-new computer virus that could seriously damage the UK’s infrastructure. With suspicions of a traitor in Johnston’s team running high, Nick agrees to unofficially assist in tracking down the missing agent.

Book 6 – The Godzone Connection
Can you really disappear without a trace?


Phoebe Fraser is an English woman working at a private bank in Tokyo. When she steals $10 million from a client’s account and then disappears, Nick and Mariko Severance are brought in as private investigators, to track her down.

It looks like a simple case of greed, until the body of someone close to Phoebe washes up on a beach in Tokyo Bay. Murder becomes linked with theft and Phoebe is the main suspect. One way or another, she has to be found.

The search takes Nick halfway around the world to New Zealand, where he unravels a story involving insider dealing, love and betrayal, and ultimate revenge. But he isn’t the only one searching. Certain interested parties also want to find Phoebe and for reasons of their own, silence her forever. It’s really just a question of who gets to her first.

About the author

Mark McKay

14 books19 followers
Mark 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).

Another great trilogy

McKay does not disappoint with this trilogy. The characters are so believable and makes me want to see them more. Exciting to wonder what the next book will bring. Bring it on!!

Intrigue./ Espionage.

Nick and Mariko find themselves in yet more tangled webs. From stolen files from Tehran to stolen millions in Japan.
Since the future for Nick and Mariko is now unstable, will this be their last foray into the world of secret agents???
