The Angel

2015

White light. Heat. A drawn-out moment of complete silence. And then the screaming starts. An Underground carriage in London is destroyed by a suicide bomber. The injured and the dead litter the platform. But as a crowd forms at street level, Michael Pope knows that this is only the beginning. Pope, head of top-secret Group Fifteen, is tasked with finding the perpetrators of this atrocity and bringing them to justice, any way he can. He knows that the answers to many of his questions will lie at the end of the money trail, but he also knows that whoever funded and organised the attack will kill again for their freedom. This is an operation that requires a very special kind of agent. Pope needs someone who exists outside of normality. Someone who floats above it, treading softly through a fractured life. He needs the Angel.

The Asset

Act II

2016

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. The Asset is the second part in a continuing story involving Isabella Rose that started with Act I: The Angel.

The Agent

2017

Isabella Rose ist auf der Flucht vor den Leuten, für die sie arbeiten sollte. Die ausgebildete Killerin Isabella und ihr früherer Agentenführer Michael Pope müssen sich in Indien verstecken. Als sie von einem mysteriösen Informanten Hinweise auf den Verbleib von Popes entführter Familie erhalten, sieht die Beute ihre Chance, zum Jäger zu werden. Aus der Armut der Slums von Mumbai verjagt und ins Visier eines Scharfschützengewehrs inmitten des üppigen Reichtums von Shanghai getrieben, jagen Isabella und Pope flüchtige Schatten in einem Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Und sie können es sich nicht leisten zu verlieren. Die Kundschafterin ist nach Der Engel und Die Agentin der dritte Teil einer fortlaufenden Geschichte um Isabella Rose.

The Avenger

2022

She didn’t live in a normal world. She was hunted. The code written in her genetics was worth an incalculable amount of money, and there were men and women who would do anything to lay their hands on her. Living under new identities in rural France, trained killer Isabella Rose and her former handler Michael Pope are trying to lay low. Tired of hiding, all Isabella wants is the chance to live an ordinary life. But Isabella is an extraordinary young woman and the people pursuing her will never, ever, give up. Her unique abilities have attracted the attention of the Academy of Military Science in Beijing. And it’s not only Isabella who needs to stay in the shadows. Ex-head of top-secret Group Fifteen, Pope has his fair share of enemies and a family that he's desperate to protect. Isabella and Pope can’t stay off the grid forever. Someone isn't going to let them. From the hills of Montpellier to the cliffs of Malta, they find themselves caught in a violent game of cat and mouse.
