The Asset: Act II


-->
Mark Dawson’s second novel in the four-book series about Isabella Rose, The Asset: Act II, opens with another terrorist act in England. Then we meet Maia for the first time, a female assassin of remarkable physical talents. Maia is a key figure in the rest of these novels. Isabella, still just 15 years old, as the result of Michael Pope’s involving her in an undercover scheme, has been kidnapped and is on a private jet headed for Syria when engine troubles forces a landing in Turkey where she and her captors are all forcibly taken into custody by ISIS. It’s not always clear who are the good guys. This is nonstop action which led me to immediately follow the story into the third and fourth books.
