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.

Praise for The Not So Merry Adventures of Max Creed


"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.”~~Jule Selbo, author of the award-winning Dee Rommel Mystery series


"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 Cafe
