The Dakota Steele FBI Suspense Thrillers series by Ava Strong spans six books published between 2022 and 2023. FBI agent Dakota Steele takes on cases involving criminals who operate without restraint, as suggested by the “Without” theme running through each title.
Without Mercy opens the series and sets the tone for the investigations that follow. The subsequent books, from Without Remorse through Without Reason, raise the stakes as Steele confronts increasingly dangerous suspects. The series explores the psychological cost of pursuing people who have nothing left to lose.
