Synopsis

Isabella Rose, the Angel, is used to surprises, but being abducted is an unwelcome novelty. She's relying on Michael Pope, the head of the top-secret Group Fifteen, to get her back.

When ISIS get involved, the situation becomes even bleaker. Isabella's abductors are in turn abducted, and she finds herself trapped in Raqqa, the capital of the self-styled caliphate.

Meanwhile, Pope has problems of his own: a new danger has emerged from the shadows and is threatening both him and his family. His only option is to head for the war-torn border of Turkey and Syria—a murderous, lawless place where potential enemies lurk around every bombed-out corner. Pope knows that he is risking everything to find Isabella, but finding the Angel is not a choice—it's a necessity.

Readers love Joe DeMarco, not because he is so good, but because he isn't. He often bends rules, sometimes breaks them, to get the job done. He's a lawyer ostensibly working for any House member who needs his help, but he actually serves only one person--John Mahoney, House Minority Leader. The task......more

I’m a huge fan of Mike Lawson (author) and Joe DeMarco (book character extraordinaire). What a team. Needless to say, I’m always looking forward to Mr Lawson’s next book. The Asset starts out strong – well-written and good plot. Joe is trying to track down someone who has some information about a pol......more

My third book in the series. I got hooked after Kingpin and have been following Mike Lawson and the adventures of his Washington DC fixer Joe DeMarco ever since. They're an easy read but smart and filled with enough character to set them a touch above the average book in this genre (Capitol thriller......more
