Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mark Nolan has given us a present and has packed the first three books in his Jake Wolfe series into one bundle box set! The set includes Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie, Vigilante Assassin, and Killer Lawyer. There is also a fourth book – San Diego Dead – that you need to get separate if you fall in love with the series like I did!
The first book, Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie, introduces us to Jake Wolfe who is a lawyer but who originally was not on the mysterious killer’s wealthy San Francisco lawyers kill list. He unfortunately happened to take is picture and so does the deadly game of cat and mouse start. The first book gives you a taste and you will get addicted as Mark Nolan is mixing drama, suspense, mystery, crime, military, flashbacks, sexy women … you name it and he has included it! Jake Wolfe is a military veteran who has a secret past and in the opening act he is working as a photo journalist for a local news channel! What a great way of stumbling into something that one would never want to stumble into, a murder! The writer also gives us Jake’s military dog Cody who is a character in his own rights and I think all of us will think that ‘I wish I had a dog like Cody’ after reading the book.
The second book, Vigilante Assassin, takes us deeper into the amazing world that Mark Nolan has created! Vigilante Assassin is a story filled with action and suspense and mystery … I loved the way the writer is spinning the story, it pulls us in and we feel we are next to the action taking place … I loved how Cody ‘talked’ and how much it all gave to the story, creating another layer … At times I felt though as if the way the writer had Jake speaking that it was too short but the more I got into the story, the more I grew comfortable with it and I felt that it actually added to the story … Not only do we hear Jake and Cody’s thoughts, we also ‘hear’ the other characters’ thoughts, what an intricate weave!
Killer Lawyer is the third book in Mark Nolan’s Jake Wolfe series and what a story it is! I have to say that the writing gets better and better with each book! The writer is a master of intense action thrillers and you are guaranteed a head spinning rollercoaster ride! You could read the story as a standalone but you would miss out of having met Jake and Cody and Sarah (Jake’s girlfriend who is a veterinarian) and seen how they began!
In Killer Lawyer our ex-marine lawyer turned Jake Wolfe with his war dog Cody are thrown into find out who is the serial killer who seems to be killing random people … These two get involved when one of Jake’s friends is killed so we are getting a story of revenge and survival and outsmarting of the killer! I loved complex story line and the interaction between the characters, the companionship and comradery among the men, the bond between Jake and Cody, the longing for peace and quiet and at the same time the need to step in and right the wrongs! AND add to this the alternating point of views, oh my, to be in the head of that evil killer … chills along your spine!
If you love a good suspense story that grabs you and doesn’t let go and has unforgettable characters then you’d better pick up the bundle!
