After Rick Rasner and his cohorts at the Duke Organization sprung her from its all-consuming clutches, Clara Blue thought she'd never again see the inside of the Brookhill Children's Psychiatric Residence; however, following a surprise ambush on the Organization's headquarters by brutal mercenary Jake Scarberry, Rick and crew are left for dead and Clara suddenly finds herself right back in the facility from which she so desperately craved her freedom. Despite her numerous escape attempts, nothing Clara does seems to bring that freedom any closer - that is, until Jennifer Duke, Rick's former co-conspirator, arrives in the guide of a therapist...however, rather than orchestrate Clara's escape, Jennifer's true purpose for infiltrating the Residence is something far more worthy of alarm...
In the follow up release to his debut thriller, The Rasner Effect, author Mark Rosendorf takes the action and intrigue to an even higher level in Without Hesitation. Through twisted plotlines and truly compelling - if not insane - characters, Rosendorf takes the reader on an all-engrossing trip through a highly volatile "perfect storm" of suspense, mystery, and unabashed violence. Rife with a host of shocking surprises, Without Hesitation picks up right where The Rasner Effect left off, guaranteeing that readers will surely not be disappointed in what has become Rosendorf's trademark action-packed storytelling style. A thoroughly entertaining read.

Following a brief escape, Clara Blue is back at the Brookhill Psychiatric hospital. Her mentor, Rick, is dead and her surrogate family, the Duke Organization, is scattered. She is troubled, a trouble maker, and her only goal is escape. When a former Duke member shows up as an employee of the hospital, they begin to plot her attempt at freedom.
I read a lot of thrillers, and I have to say that Mark Rosendorf doesn't write ordinary thrillers. He writes stories that are unique and just a little off center - but in a good way! Without Hesitation is the sequel to The Rasner Effect and the story continues with some of the same characters. Clara is an unusual teen character as she tries to cause as much trouble as possible, but still remains someone who stirs up sympathy. She is violent, but she has a conscious, and now she is having hallucinations.
Although Without Hesitation is fine as a stand-alone book, I would still recommend reading The Rasner Effect first. It will help put all of the characters in perspective and it, too, is a wonderful unique story. Without Hesitation has me eager to read Mark's next book.
