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 Us
In WITHOUT PITY (Book #4), when a new victim appears, trapped in an elaborate maze, part of a killer’s lair, Dakota realizes she is up against a killer more diabolical than she’s ever seen. Still chasing the unsolved murder of her sister, Dakota is burning the candle at both ends, trying to solve the present while trying to fix her past. Using all the skills at her disposal, Dakota is one step away from entering the killer’s mind and decoding his plan. But will she be fast enough to save another life?
In WITHOUT HOPE (Book #5), when Dakota pursues her next case into the world of medieval re-enactment enthusiasts, she is up against a myriad of traps and suspects—and everything is deadlier than it seems. In this world of theater, a killer is picking off innocent lives one by one, using the backdrop as his own stage. Dakota must enter this insular subculture, and in a world of kings and queens, of rogues and knights, she will have to hold her own. But not all weapons are pretend. And Dakota just may discover an ambush where she least expected it.
In WITHOUT REASON (Book #6), as the trail brings Dakota deep into the world of notorious criminals, she will have to rely on her fighting skills to keep her alive—and to enable her to save the next victim before it’s too late.
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.
