  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 this new case is unlike anything she’s seen, and Dakota, weighed down by the demons of her own past, may have just reached her breaking point.
  
  “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 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?
  
  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 #2 and #3 in the series—WITHOUT REMORSE and WITHOUT A PAST—are now also available.

  Aidan Collins has his very first large case when his client, Marina Vasiliev, a drop-dead gorgeous mental patient, is accused of killing her wealthy husband. Marina insists that she didn't do it, but Aidan can't trust her. 
  After all, he met Marina in the mental hospital–he originally obtained her as a client when she was involuntarily committed, and he assisted her with getting out. 
  Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, Marina's view of reality shifts from day to day. 
  Marina has no memory of what happened the night that her husband died. 
  He makes the decision that the best way to defend her would be to try for the insanity defense. His client is not on board with this decision, and, to make things worse, she begins to imagine him as her lover, which turns his professional relationship with her upside down. 
  However, once Aidan gets more into the case, he begins to doubt that his decision to try for the insanity defense was a sound one. Before long, Aidan feels that his reality is shifting as much as his client. 
  Aidan can never be sure that he's doing the right thing in using the insanity defense. An eleventh hour witness throws his entire trial strategy into disarray.

  Welcome to Black Abbey Towers . . . where murder is just the opening act. 
   
  Halloween, 1899: a satanic aristocrat, a missing village girl, and a fire that scorches Black Abbey Towers into legend. 
   
  Present day: The haunted abbey has been requisitioned as a film set and the cast is dying to be involved. 
   
  Retired NCA advisor-turned-hitwoman Dottie Barker is posing as a stunt expert while secretly bumping off local criminals vigilante style. The "Quirky Quintet"— four fearless WI ladies and their eccentric plus-one—have been cast as extras, but their talent for stumbling into murder investigations proves harder to contain than their cackling. 
   
  As suspicious deaths mount, an ancient diorama predicts the murders before they happen, and the legend of the "Death Collector" comes chillingly to life. Someone is playing a deadly game in the sinister chambers beneath the abbey, and only a gun-toting pensioner and a ghostly girl can stop it. 
   
  But secrets buried in blood have a habit of rising, and for Dottie, the final twist might just break her heart . . .

  The Assyrian Rejuvenator

  The Assyrian Rejuvenator, published in 1907, is one of R. Austin Freeman's novels written under the name Clifford Ashdown and the first to feature well-known protagonist Dr. Thorndyke--a medical-legal forensic investigator. Although Freeman's early works were seen as simple homages to his contemporary, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he quickly developed his own style--the 'inverted detective story'--in which the identity of the criminal is shown from the beginning, and the story then describes the detective's attempt to solve the mystery. In this tale, inflated claims about the powers of an expensive elixir put private investigator Romney Pringle in pursuit of a ruthless con man. The trickster has reason to believe that his customers won't complain, but Pingle sets out to destroy the crooked business.
