Mark Nolan can write a thriller like very few other authors can! The action is non stop and it kept me reading until I finished the book--late into the night! I first read the author's book "Dead Lawyers Don't Lie" back in January of 2017 (see my review here) and fell in love with Jake Wolfe and his dog Cody!
A smarter dog you are unlikely to find anywhere. Unfortunately both Jake and Cody have lingering psychological problems from the war zones they were in.
Jake has one major flaw--he can not say no to anyone who needs help--and he always seems to get into trouble-following rules is not his thing-even if it is the government! Cody only likes very few people. And he is a trained killer--luckily Jake can control him by various commands! Cody's one love is the vet--nobody better even think about hurting her!!
It seemed like I waited forever for this second in the Jake Wolfe Book series----now I have to wait for the third--enough to make a grown women cry!
This can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest you read both!!
![Vigilante Assassin: An Action Thriller (Jake Wolfe Book 2) by [Nolan, Mark]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4700/40595934061_694396ecc4.jpg)
Every marriage has a secret, but this one is deadly. Lauren Stephens wakes up to find her husband, Gene, has vanished during the night. His phone is dead. Desperate, she hires Jake Wolfe and his war dog, Cody. They search the house and discover something so disturbing that Jake won’t allow Lauren near it. “No, if you see this, there is no unseeing it.”
Lauren thought she had it all: a loving partner, two great kids, a successful business, and a beautiful home in the San Francisco hills. But all of that is about to come crashing down, due to a missing husband, a hidden past, and a frightening secret that will shock a trusting wife to the core. Gene has enemies, and now they want something from Lauren.
Jake Wolfe is a flawed man who has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He wants to leave his secret, violent past behind him, but when Lauren and her children are threatened, his protective instinct takes command. Jake soon finds himself involved in a dangerous conspiracy, targeted for death, and engaged in battle with a powerful, unseen group who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Jake’s going to have to think fast and fight hard to protect Cody, Lauren and her kids.

Book 1: Dead Lawyers Don't Lie
A mysterious killer who calls himself The Artist is assassinating wealthy lawyers in San Francisco. When war veteran Jake Wolfe accidentally takes his picture during a murder, The Artist adds Jake to his kill list and he becomes a target in a deadly game of cat and mouse that only one of them can survive. How far would you go to protect your loved ones from a killer? Jake wants to leave his top secret, violent past life behind him. But the reluctant, flawed hero can't ignore his duty and his personal moral compass.
This gripping thriller is full of suspense, plot twists and surprises. It features a cast of interesting characters, including several strong-willed women, two wise-cracking San Francisco Police Homicide Inspectors, one highly intelligent dog, and a philosophical killer who shares Jake's admiration for Van Gogh paintings but still plans to kill him anyway. As Jake gets closer to unraveling a merciless conspiracy, his life gets turned upside down and the danger level increases, adding to the growing suspense. This entertaining page-turner starts out as a murder mystery and then shifts gears into a high-speed action thriller that takes you on a roller-coaster ride to the riveting ending. A good read for those who enjoy mysteries, suspense, action and adventure, vigilante justice, unique characters, witty dialogue and a little romance too. Now on sale in over a dozen countries around the world. Be the first among your friends to read it.
Fans of new Kindle Unlimited novels will be happy to know this book is one of the best financial thrillers in kindle unlimited books.
