Absent All Remorse: A Charlotte Morris Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781458222282)

Following the death of her beloved Gran, former Navy JAG officer Charlotte Morris went through some terrible times. She'd become practically a recluse when her best friend, Tanya, dragged her from an emotional coma and taught Charley how to live again. Now, Tanya has been abducted, and the apparent perpetrators have far-reaching, international sway.

Joshua Williams was a commissioned officer in the United States Navy for eighteen years. He lived the dream, serving his country while seeing exotic, exciting places. Then, tragedy struck, and Josh sought a reason to keep going. He has now been assigned to assist Charley in her search for Tanya-whether he likes it or not.

Charley joins forces with Josh, whom she must trust with her life despite her better instincts. She's still not sure what politics have to do with Tanya's abduction, but she doesn't really care, so long as she can get Tanya back alive. Their investigation takes Charley and Josh halfway around the world, and as they grow closer to their culprit, they also grow closer to each other. However, pursuing Tanya's captors means pursuing the world's super powers. This could end in war.
