THE NOT SO MERRY ADVENTURES OF MAX CREED

Max Creed is a fictional person created to bring justice to those wronged by the ultra-wealthy in a world where the law overwhelmingly favors those with money and power. He is bound only by the laws of humanity and not those of the legal system.

When Sevyn Knight hires Max Creed and his disciples to right the wrongs done to her father at the hands of billionaire playboy Rupert Hastings, the game is afoot. Creed must enmesh himself in the world of the immoral tycoon in order to destroy him, but the temptations of sin and the allure of the pleasures of the rich and famous tease the very fabric of his being.

Aided by his business manager, John Little, the former assassin, Scarlett, the tech wizard, Scads, the attorney, Marian, and the financial guru, Tucker, Creed races against time to stop Hastings from becoming all-powerful as murky figures appear on the darkest edges of his fiefdom.

A breathless thrill ride that will keep your heart pounding long after the last page is turned.

"Matt Cost's special blend of thriller and mystery in a story of  recovery and re-entry into the world translates to thoroughly engrossing  reading. This is because he takes the time to juxtapose fast-paced  action and investigations into the workings of drug lords and money  makers. These dovetail with the psychological and philosophical growth  of a flawed but likeable protagonist whose efforts to rebuild his life  teeter on the brink of impacting his career."

~ Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review

"Author Matt Cost serves up The Not So Merry Adventures of Max Creed,  packed with his signature flair of rough-and-tumble characters. In this  case, Max leverages a team of other experts to handle a report from a  woman about the inner workings of a business tycoon and the negative  impact on her father."

~ Novels Alive

"Drug  cartels, Chinese gangsters, and sexploitation drive the action until  its unexpected climax, which doesn't pull punches, literally, and  figuratively. Cost has a way of making believable action as if he's  tried out the hits before he writes about them. His writing is gritty  and base, and delivers a tone appropriate to the underbelly of human  nature."

~ BJ Magnani, author of the Dr. Lily Robinson

suspense thriller series

"The Not So Merry Adventures of Max Creed is a story of secrets and lies,  power and control, betrayal and vengeance, human trafficking and missing  persons. The premise is dark, dramatic and gritty; the characters are  determined, desperate and dynamic."

~ The Reading Café

"The  author weaves a slippery spiderweb of clues and connections for Creed  as he plays an assumed role within a vast and dangerous criminal empire.  Readers will root for Creed, for he refuses to accept that there is one  set of laws for the ordinary people and another set for the ultra-rich  scions of industry. The battle is on and it's good one - the pace and  action in this book is intense. By the final pages, readers will be  eagerly awaiting the next in the series."
