The covert intelligence community got more than they bargained for when they crossed Nick Seven in this romantic topical thriller by Tim Smith.
Nick Seven left the CIA for the tranquility of the Florida Keys, thinking he'd found an idyllic life in paradise with Felicia, his dream lover from Barbados, and that his life of intrigue was once again in the past. The last thing he wanted was to be used by his former employers as an unwilling pawn in America's war on terror.
As Nick and Felicia maneuver through a complex maze of treason, assassination and government corruption, they cross paths with a rogue agent with a personal agenda, a mentally unstable killer, and a wealthy industrialist with ties to several terrorist organizations. When Nick is set up as the fall guy for a murder he didn't commit, and Felicia becomes part of the agency's scheme, the stakes become higher and more personal. Nick's quest to get out from under the CIA's thumb and regain control of his life forces him to realize that what dreams may hold, nightmares also share.

By any chance was Nick Seven inspired by Humphrey Bogart?

Your Nick Seven series sound intriguing. Should they be read in order? Congrats on the reissue.
ReplyDeleteHi, Tim-
ReplyDeleteYou're a new to me author. I sounds like your Nick Seven books have a touch of Travis McGee and Stone Barrington. Both of which I enjoy.

Thank you all for the comments and questions. I'm pleased that these books were re-issued for a new audience to discover.
ReplyDeleteThe books do not need to be read in order. I wrote them all as stand alone stories. You can pick up 'Vendetta Factor' (#3)and know where the characters came from and what makes them run.
How hot is the romance in this series? Let's see...does Key West in the middle of July conjure up the word 'sultry'? Go a few degrees hotter!
Was Nick Seven inspired by Humphrey Bogart? I think most fictional tough guy characters were somewhat inspired by Bogie. The fact that I chose to set these stories in Key Largo adds to the similarity. I suppose there's a bit of Travis McGee in there, too, along with Phillip Marlowe, Mike Hammer and Dirty Harry. What a combination!
Yes, there will be more Nick Seven adventures. This character has so many layers it would be a shame to retire him after only 3 books.
Regina, 'Never Trust Your Dreams' is a good book, one that was unfairly overlooked by a lot of people. 'Memories Die Last' won the awards and acclaim as my first novel, ('Dreams' won an award and good reviews, too), and 'Vendetta Factor' captured a wider audience because of the humor and subject matter, so I look at 'Dreams' as the Jan Brady of the series - the middle child.
I hope you all check out these romantic adventures about a former CIA spook who just wants to live his life in The Florida Keys on his own terms with the rediscovered love of his life. Now if everyone would just leave them alone to do that...I wouldn't have any more stories to write about them, would I?
