    The Mick Sever Music Series

    About this series

    For rock and roll writer Mick Sever, another story, another deadly island paradise is all in a day' s work. This time, Mick heads to Nassau, Bahamas, home of the legendary Highland Studio.

    Known for pumping out hits that burn up the charts, Highland is where the magic happens— or rather, where the magic happened until a devastating fire destroyed the entire studio. No one knows how the fire started, who started it— or whose body was found among the charred remains.

    Sent to get the inside story on the opening of the new Highland Studio, Mick finds this is hardly the Phoenix-rising-out-of-the-ashes story he expected.

    Some say the studio' s haunted; some say it' s cursed, but one thing is for sure: someone— or something— wants to stop the music. A smashed guitar and erased tracks send a subtle warning, but murder? That' s an entirely different tune.

    If Mick doesn' t act fast, Highland Studio, along with everything and everyone in its path, could go up in smoke.

    It' s not always better to burn out than to fade away.

      USA Today best-selling author Someone is about to make a killing in the music industry. Why would songwriting legend Gideon Pike mysteriously disappear just when he is about to turn his 30-year career into a multi-million dollar profit? Music columnist Mick Sever is back in Don Bruns' third suspense masterpiece. This time he's looking for answers and his missing friend in the gritty backrooms of South Beach's biggest nightclubs, dodging suicide speedboats and running from sniper fire. What surfaces is how the major players in the music industry are not making the headlines, they're just pulling the strings that create them. Hit it right and the royalties, even someone else's, can rake in millions for the rest of your life. The key is finding Gideon before Korean mobster Jimmy Shinn does. Jimmy is ready to cash in on the one secret that will bring Gideon to his knees and strip away what's left of his career, his fortune, and his life. Whoever gets to Gideon first will either save him or pull the trigger. The deadly race is on.

      USA Today best-selling author Rock and roll journalist Mick Sever is back with a new assignment: interview music legend Danny Murtz. Murtz's walls are lined with platinum records, but his closet is full of skeletons. Known for producing an unbelievable string of hits, Murtz is also tied to a string of disappearances. Seems a number of Murtz's romantic conquests have vanished into thin air. After his latest incident, Murtz conveniently retreats to his secluded St. Bart villa.Before Mick can hop a plane to the island, he's nearly run down by a speeding car. Coincidence? Maybe, but hitmaker Danny Murtz and near misses go hand in hand.After receiving anonymous threats, Murtz is convinced: someone wants to bring him down. Even his longtime secretary Nancy, and attorney/manager/cleaner-upper Harvey Schwartz are suspect. And that meddlesome Mick Sever is digging too deep. If Danny Murtz has his way, Mick will only need a one-way ticket to paradise. Because if Mick isn't careful, his next column will be an obituary—his obituary. Sun, sand and a psychopath: it's a deadly mix.
