Publication Day: Exposed King

Today is publication day for Exposed King.

This novel has been a long time coming. What began as a crime thriller about a city under pressure evolved into a story that feels uncomfortably close to the world we’re living in now—where trust is fragile, power is protected, and justice is anything but simple.

Exposed King follows NYPD Commissioner James Maguire as New York City spirals. Criminals are turning up dead, fear is spreading, and someone is sending a message that the system can no longer ignore. As the lines between right and wrong blur, Maguire is forced to confront a question with no easy answer:
What happens when justice stops working?

The book is now live on Amazon Kindle, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who’s supported the James Maguire series along the way.

Thank you for reading.
The story is officially yours.

Pick up your copy of Expose King on Amazon today.

Exposed King Is Now Available for Kindle Pre-Order

I’m excited to announce that Exposed King, the next novel in the James Maguire series, is now available for pre-order on Amazon Kindle.

This story follows NYPD Commissioner James Maguire as New York City begins to unravel. Criminals are turning up dead. Fear is spreading. And somewhere in the chaos, someone is making it clear that the system no longer works the way it’s supposed to.

As pressure mounts, Maguire is forced to confront not just a growing body count, but the uncomfortable reality that justice—when filtered through politics, power, and public anger—rarely remains clean.

Exposed King was written as a crime thriller, but at its core it’s a question:
What happens when trust in the system collapses, and people decide the rules no longer apply?

If you enjoy gritty NYPD procedurals, morally complex characters, and stories that feel uncomfortably close to the real world, this one was written for you.

The Kindle edition is now live for pre-order on Amazon, with release coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who’s followed the James Maguire series so far. I can’t wait to put this one in your hands.

Cover Reveal: EXPOSED KING

Today, I’m excited to officially reveal the cover for Exposed King, the next James Maguire novel.

I didn’t set out to write a book that mirrored the moment we’re living in—but sometimes fiction gets there first. Exposed King explores what happens when justice fractures, trust collapses, and a city is pushed to the edge. Today, I’m revealing the cover.

From the beginning, this story has been about pressure—on a city, on the justice system, and on the people sworn to uphold it. The cover reflects that tension: a city on edge, authority under siege, and a single figure standing at the center of it all.

Exposed King asks a simple but uncomfortable question: What happens when the system stops working—and people decide to take justice into their own hands?

This book was written before many of the events we’re witnessing now, but like the best crime fiction, it explores forces that never really go away: power, anger, corruption, and the consequences of pushing society too far.

The story is coming soon.
And so is the reckoning.

Publishing Day: SHADOW STRIKE

Well, it’s official. February 28th marks the release of Andrew G. Nelson’s latest James Maguire book: SHADOW STRIKE, a military thriller that provides readers with a glimpse into his past as a member of the US Navy SEALs.

When the President of the United States issues a National Security Directive to the CIA authorizing action to eliminate a member of a Mexican Cartel. The black op mission is detailed to Maguire and his swim-buddy, Anthony ‘Kojak’ Kowalczyk, who head to Mexico to neutralize their target, but things are not as they seem.

As the mission rapidly devolves, Maguire must lean on an old friend, and an unlikely new acquaintance, if he is going to survive and shed light on who betrayed them.

SHADOW STRIKE is an origins story, that provides a new look at Maguire’s background, but certain aspects of the story will fit chronologically at the end of GLASS CASTLE.

Head on over to Amazon and pick up your copy today.
