MIKE DEVON BOXSET: Books 1 to 5

by Joe McCoubrey

Five full-length action thrillers all rolled into one explosive omnibus. Someone Has To Pay – In the dark days of the Irish troubles, three men are on a collision course that could change history. A British government counterterrorism operative, a top IRA enforcer, and a determined policeman all have their own agendas. Absence of Rules - Mike Devon always takes the line of least resistance to get the job done, particularly when he’s faced with two al-Qaeda leaders preparing to unleash a new terror campaign against America and its European allies. But Devon also has to deal with a sinister Russian oil billionaire, pulling the strings in a determined bid to return to the days of East-West conflict. Absence of Mercy – Mike Devon’s covert team become a target for some of the world’s top assassins. But as Devon scorches a trail of vengeance across Europe, he finds himself becoming sidetracked by false leads. Are the attacks on his unit nothing more than a smokescreen to hide the biggest ever terrorist plot against the city of London? No Margin for Error - Mike Devon finds himself in the middle of the terrorist organisation responsible for the Paris atrocities. Using the refugee crisis as a cover for their activities, these highly funded extremists are intent on bringing death and destruction to other cities across Europe. Exposure to Truth - When a former MI6 agent is brutally murdered after uncovering a trail of lies and deceit that threaten to expose some powerful and ruthless men, his widow and son are caught in the crosshairs. Mike Devon and his team are all that stand between the family and a small army of dedicated mercenaries intent on wiping out the last remaining links to the truth. Devon needs to find and expose these shadowy enemies. There’s just one problem - he doesn’t know where to start looking. And the clock is ticking.

About the author

Joe McCoubrey is a former Irish newspaper editor who is now a full-time action thriller writer. His first full-time job after leaving college was as a showroom salesman for a car-parts company. At coffee break on the first morning he walked to the nearest cafeteria, and kept on walking - he never went back! At the turn of the seventies he joined the Civil Service based at Stormont, the seat of the Northern Ireland Government, and watched behind the scenes as some of the country's most momentous events unfolded. These were the early dark days of the 'troubles' - events that reverberated around the world, and somehow served to push him towards his real passion of writing. He became a journalist, later a Newspaper Editor, and then a partner in an agency supplying copy to national newspapers and broadcasters. He switched careers to help start a Local Enterprise Agency, providing advice and support to budding entrepreneurs in his native town, and became its full-time CEO. He retired to concentrate on his long-time ambition to be a full-time writer. His previous novels have all been published to critical acclaim.

These include:

'SPENT FORCE'
'ABSENCE OF MERCY'
'ABSENCE OF RULES.'
'SOMEONE HAS TO PAY'
'DEATH BY LICENCE'

When he's not writing Joe is always available to help new authors. Over the past year he has edited and formatted more than a dozen titles for first-time writers.
