in its Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged!

Lee McCloud (Mac) has a reputation as a loose cannon. So when a secret agency operating outside the law recruits him for his special operations skills his team leader Tally, a tough, attractive computer genius, is ordered to keep him on a tight leash. But a tight leash is the last thing Mac wants. His intent is to use the agency’s massive resources to track down Sophia, a close friend’s daughter, who has been kidnapped in Mexico.

From the beginning, sparks fly between Mac and Tally. Mac sees Tally as an office worker, not qualified for field operations. For her part, Tally views Mac as little more than a cold-blooded killer. The conflict escalates as the two are forced to play at husband and wife in order to get close to their next target.

Ignoring orders to stay out of trouble, Mac enlists the help of Scotty, a British soldier, and Jog, a Lebanese fixer. They follow the kidnappers’ trail to Paris, where events lead them to suspect Sophia is a captive of Sheik Khalid, a billionaire Saudi exile who is suspected of supporting terrorist groups by shipping weapons, drugs and slaves on his luxury vessel, Princess Aliya.

Mac and Tally discover they have feelings for each other, but events lead Mac to question whether Tally is working to another agenda. With time running out, the group dodges assassins, corrupt generals, evil medicos, Mossad agents, corrupt bureaucrats and sharks. But they cannot anticipate what is waiting for them on Khalid’s fortress island of Andaran, or that there is much more at stake than Sophia…

“Author Ian Walkley skillfully weaves together an action-packed plot filled with gritty, credible details and a cast of well-rounded male and female characters possessing complex psychological profiles and strong motives. Plot twists and turns keep the pace of the story moving quickly, while Walkley creates a disconcerting edginess and tone by contrasting the descriptive narrative of exotic places with the stark, grisly realities of the criminal activity:
‘The island was shaped like a starfish with three arms . . . Laughing, free-spirited children ran beside the car, waving and calling to them as they slowed through villages.’
NO REMORSE is a suspenseful adventure thriller that provides a sinister commentary on human conscience and the price people will let others pay for their own gain.” – Maya Fleischmann for IndieReader

Ian Walkley switched to thriller writing after a career as a social and consumer researcher and marketing consultant. He is a published travel writer and has previously authored and edited two books on small business. Ian’s debut conspiracy thriller, NO REMORSE, is the first in a series, and he is currently working on a crime thriller titled BAIT and the sequel to NO REMORSE. He has also written a screenplay for NO REMORSE.

His best friend’s daughter, Sophia, has been abducted. Not an ordinary kidnap for ransom. But then, Lee McCloud is no ordinary man.

Having witnessed his sister kidnapped when he was fourteen, this is McCloud’s opportunity to deliver some badly needed justice.

But things don’t go as planned.

Desperate to save Sophia at all costs, McCloud finds himself forced to team-up with Tally, a computer specialist in a secret organization that targets the mega-rich sponsors of terror. Tally wants nothing to do with McCloud either, but quickly they find themselves on a collision course with Sheik Khalid, an exiled Saudi whose ruthless ambitions feature a key role for Sophia.

With time running out for Sophia, and their haunted pasts catching up, McCloud and Tally begin to realize where the evidence is pointing, only to find they’re trapped in an even bigger conspiracy. Hunted by enemies on both sides and conflicted by their feelings for each other, they must be willing to trade their lives to save Sophia and stop a horrific plot that will have devastating consequences for an already unstable world.

“First-time author Ian Walkley gets everything right in NO REMORSE, a gritty, complicated thriller in which a former Delta Forces commander on a mission to rescue a friend’s daughter from Mideast slave traders faces a bigger threat than he could possibly imagine. Walkley’s story bursts off the page with intense action, exotic locales and authentic details, while realistic characters navigate a web of intrigue and deceit worthy of Clancy or Ludlum at their best. A gripping, heart-stopping thriller. Walkley is definitely an author to watch!”
– Karen (K.L.) Dionne, author, FREEZING POINT, BOILING POINT

“Exotic locations, intricate plot, well-developed characters. More thrills than climbing the Matterhorn.”
– DL Wilson, author, SIROCCO, UNHOLY GRAIL

“An edgy thriller that gets straight into the action and doesn’t let up. A plausible plot with a strong and engaging protagonist – intelligent thriller writing.”
– JJ Cooper, author THE INTERROGATOR, DEADLY TRUST
