The Isthmus Company: Part II, Samantha Boulton, Book Vine Press, 2020
This series is about the Isthmus Company, a shadowy organization that is somewhere an unscrupulous loan agency and a front for organized crime. When a person owes money to Isthmus, employees are sent to collect "collateral," which, in this case, means kidnapping a man's daughter to make sure he pays up.
In this book, Tig and Tryp, Isthmus employees, are on a long-overdue vacation. Their real intention is to leave Isthmus, permanently. It is not like simply handing in a resignation letter. Isthmus has world-wide influence, and the only way to leave is in a coffin.
This book works really well, with plenty of suspense and twists and turns. It's got good characters and a good story. My only semi-negative comment is that reading Part I before reading Part II is a very good idea. In Part II, the reader is dropped in the middle of the story, with no explanation of what happened previously.
