JOHN MACKIE

Novels of real life...
and real death...
by a real cop from the big city

Welcome to the website of John Mackie, creator of NYPD Detective Sergeant Thornton Savage and author of MANHATTAN SOUTH, MANHATTAN NORTH, EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE, and his latest Savage thriller... TO KILL A QUEEN:


As Queen Mary 2 sails from New York bound for Europe, a terrorist highjacked cargo ship carrying a nuclear device sails from a North African port. They are destined to meet at predetermined coordinates on the high seas. Aboard QM2, en route to finalizing a historic and far-reaching Middle East peace accord in Geneva, is the United Nations Secretary General. The terrorist world will stop at nothing to prevent him from arriving. Led by a revivalist Nazi assassin, members of al-Nida are among the Queen’s passengers and others lie dormant embedded within her crew. On the fifth day, just south of Ireland, the dormant monsters take over the fabulous liner, rendezvous with the deadly freighter, and transfer the one-kiloton device into Queen Mary’s hold. By destroying and sinking the QM2, loss of life greater than the 9/​11 destruction of the Twin Towers will have been effected, and any hopes for Middle East peace will again be thrown back into chaos.

Traveling on the fateful voyage—hoping to enjoy his first real vacation in many years—is NYPD Detective Sergeant Thornton Savage. Like the small band of heroic passengers on Flight #93, who found themselves trapped in a horrendous and seemingly hopeless situation, Savage must martial a small group of passengers to outwit and defeat the highly organized fanatic Jihadists before they can blow the QM2, and all aboard her, into holy hell.



All five of the Thorn Savage NYPD books are now available--exclusively--on Amazon Kindle!
