When three more bodies are discovered, it's clear a festive family gathering has turned into a gruesome tragedy. At first it seems like an open and shut case: a murder suicide committed by Ralph's volatile brother Cameron.

Robert Tracy is spirited away from his own execution. A top-secret government project makes him an offer he can't refuse: work for us or disappear permanently. With no choice, he embarks on a mission to undo a terrorist attack that has already occurred, by being sent back in time 36 hours. But all is not as it seems. Soon, a conspiracy at the highest level of government to seize total power over the country threatens the second chance at life he has been given.
Summary
Isabella Rose is on the run, hunted by the very people she had been hired to work for. Trained killer Isabella and former handler Michael Pope are forced into hiding in India and, when a mysterious informer passes them clues on the whereabouts of Pope's family, the prey see an opportunity to become the predators.
Chased from the poverty of Mumbai's slums into the sights of a sniper's rifle amongst the lavish wealth of Shanghai, Isabella and Pope hunt fleeting shadows in a race against time. And they can't afford to lose.
The Agent is the third part in a continuing story involving Isabella Rose that also includes The Angel and The Asset.

Gripping story, appalling narration
Another great trilogy from Mark Dawson following the rise of a new star at The Firm, Beatrix Rose’s daughter Isobella meets up with Michael Pope ‘Control’ to take on the bad guys. Sadly, unlike David Thorpe’s narration of the John Milton series, Napoleon Ryan makes a complete hash of the storytelling switching randomly between over emphasis, up and down tones and boring, monotonous dialogue causing us to cringe or laugh out loud at his efforts to make the story interesting. Please choose another narrator if Isabella returns as she surely must from this cliff hanger.

The Agent
Lots of people have said narration below usual standard but I don't think so They have also criticised quick ending but again I don't find it a problem.
A good story line with obvious need to listen to next one . I like series so find it OK.
If you like series and an English narration then I would reccomend the books to you

Interesting twists and turns along the way
I’ve been reading a lot of Marks books over recent months. I won’t spoil it but this one has some really interesting twists that I didn’t see coming (and I’m normally quite astute early on in a book to predicts what’s coming up). Would recommend. Looking forward to the next in the series as and when it’s released.

Exciting espionage thriller!
I understand why Audible classifies the genre as contemporary Sci-FI, but The Agent's genre is espionage thriller. This is the third novel in British author Mark Dawson's Isabella Rose series. The series should be listened to in order. Even better, listen to Dawson's three novel Beatrix Rose series first beginning with In Cold Blood. Isabella is Bestrix's daughter and was in her early teen when her mom died. Her age is 15 years in The Agent. An ex-British espionage agent named Pope who worked with Beatrix Rose plays a major part in the first three novels in the Isabella Rose series, but it appears that his role may be complete. If you like espionage thrillers with lots of action and extreme suspense give Mark Dawson's novels a try.

A story full of excitement at every chapter. Also, Napoleon Ryan once again takes an excellent story to new levels. In my opinion, Napoleon Ryan is, bar none, the absolute best narrator in the business. As he says at the beginning and ending, he is performing the story, not simply reading.

Exciting conspiracy theory
The story begins with Isabella and Pope being chased from their hiding place by their former employers. They receive help from a powerful, but anonymous source. That source will help Pope find where his family is being held for a price. That price is to help the source obtain evidence that could stop a government-military contractor conspiracy from pushing Britain and the US into war. Isabella and Pope don’t know whom they can trust.
Their race around the globe is suspenseful full of action. Unfortunately, the plot espouses a typical conspiracy theory that our own governments are behind all evil things that happen.
