Without Remorse (A Dakota Steele FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 2)

MMA champ-turned-FBI Special Agent and BAU specialist Dakota Steele is as tough as they come—and as brilliant, too, able to crack serial killers that no one else can. But when bodies turn up in scrap metal yards, displayed in dramatic and disturbing ways, Dakota may have finally met her match.

“The plot has many twists and turns, but it is the ending, which I did not see coming at all, that totally defines this book as one of the most riveting that I have read in years.”

WITHOUT REMORSE is book #2 in a brand new series by critically-acclaimed and #1 bestselling mystery and suspense author Ava Strong.

As the case grows more complex, leading down a maze of dead ends, Dakota realizes there may be one clue just out of reach. And after a shocking twist, Dakota realizes that this killer may not be who she thinks he is. He may just be far more diabolical.

Yet Dakota must still battle her own demons—the disappearance of her sister, the estrangement of her father—as all of it bears down on her at once.

Can she hold it together long enough to solve the case? 

Or will the trauma of her past threaten to swallow her for good?

A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the DAKOTA STEELE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.

Books #3-#5 in the series—WITHOUT A PAST, WITHOUT PITY, and WITHOUT HOPE—are now also available.
