Sinopsis

When Con Satterlee picked up the half-intoxicated blonde in the Bamboo Bar, Griselda was annoyed. When he walked out with the blonde, leaving Griselda flat, she was furious. She was frightened, too, returning alone to the isolated, ramshackle beach cottage. And this was to have been their second honeymoon!
 
Con came back rattling a handful of shells which he said he had taken from the blonde’s revolver. But the blonde didn’t come back. The police found her corpse the next morning. And then Con was arrested. That left Griselda alone, behind a door with a lock that a bent hairpin could open. Quite defenseless, she had to face the sinister Major Pembrooke, who wanted something from Con; beautiful, lying Kathie; Dare, so very possessive as far as Con was concerned; and the debonair Kew, who was intent on helping Griselda, for selfish reasons.

    WITHOUT MERCY is the debut novel of a brand new series by critically-acclaimed and #1 bestselling mystery and suspense author Ava Strong.
    
    Dakota’s last case broke her, driving her to quit the FBI and return to the hard streets of her South Dakota hometown. She is weighed down by a lifetime of fighting, and by the demons of her dark past: her missing sister who vanished when Dakota was a teenager. Her estranged father, who she still can’t bring herself to speak to. 
    
    The killer she let get away.
    
    Dakota has hit her low point.
    
    Only the most desperate case—and the tough love of her partner—can lure her back.
    
    Victims are disappearing along empty stretches of desert highway, with no witnesses. The landscape is desolate, the people tough and dangerous. And the police are stumped.
    
    Time is running out before the next victim is taken, and it’s up to Dakota to connect the dots. 
    
    Can Dakota stop him in time?
    
    Or will her own demons take her for good?

With help from her adventurous dachshund, Nimbus, and a quiet balloon mechanic with a keen eye for detail, Skye uncovers a sky-high stack of suspects. From a rival pilot accused of stealing routes and a disgruntled former employee to a secret investor with everything to gain, everyone has a motive for clipping the victim's wings. Can Skye piece together the clues before the killer cuts another cord and sends her dreams crashing down?

    “This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”
    —Reader review for The Killing Game
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    When the virtual and real worlds collide, US Marshal Alexa Chase plunges into the dark heart of the tech industry to track a killer who livestreams murder as a twisted form of entertainment. As the body count rises, Alexa must outsmart a foe who always seems one level ahead.
    
    THE KILLING HAND (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 7) is the seventh in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1).
    
    Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.
    
    But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer’s mind. 
     
    As Alexa dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes suspects are everywhere—and the clock is ticking. But who can really be trusted? 
    
    All Alexa can do is rely on her brilliant skills to enter the killer’s twisted mind before he strikes again.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
