Sinopse

“Vintage Cain . . . it’s all here—the big money, the unusual circumstances, the spare, tight style, and the staccato dialogue.” —The Miami Herald 
 
Since his father died, every Saturday night has been the same for Dave and his mother. She starts to talk, weaving aimless, weird fantasies about get-rich-quick schemes that never amount to anything. But when,  finally, she is silent, Dave becomes afraid. Because his mother has a way of getting very close that is repellent and appealing all at once, and he’s terrified of where it might lead . . .   
 
One Saturday, a noise outside breaks the silence. A hijacker has parachuted from a stolen plane with a parachute, a hundred thousand dollars in cash, and one very frightened stewardess. Against all the odds, the thief thinks he’s gotten away with it. But he doesn’t know just what Dave’s mother will do for an easy payday—and a chance to make her son a happy man… 
 
“[Cain is] one of the greats of American noir.” —The Guardian

    A bundle of books #1 (WITHOUT MERCY) and  #2 (WITHOUT REMORSE) in Ava Strong’s Dakota Steele FBI Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file.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.“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.”—Reader review for Not Like UsIn WITHOUT MERCY (Book #1), 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?In WITHOUT REMORSE (Book #2), when bodies turn up in scrap metal yards, displayed in dramatic and disturbing ways, Dakota may have finally met her match. 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 she finally reach her breaking point?“This is a chilling, suspenseful page turner that just might leave you scared at night!”—Reader review for Not Like Us“Very intriguing, kept me turning page after page… Lots of twists and turns and a very unexpected ending.

    Bunny McGarry is back – and he’d really like a nice holiday. Somewhere with hot weather and cold drinks that come with little umbrellas for reasons he never understood. A certain nun has other ideas though and instead, he finds himself dispatched to London to find Sean Malone, a runaway teenager who doesn’t know his mother hasn’t got long left to live. The only leads Bunny has are a last-known address for the deadbeat dad Sean had gone in search of, and some letters the teenager had sent to his mum, one of which included a picture of him with the current heavyweight champion of the world. It quickly emerges that Sean is caught up in some very, nasty business and Bunny, out on his own and in a city he doesn’t know, or particularly like, is his only chance at survival.
