With no remorse...

This extraordinary narrative of daring and courage, of sacrificial love and rock-solid loyalty is, at the same time, a tale of suspicion and jealousy; of devilish cunning and despicable treachery.

During World War 11, Joshua Naudé, a young South African agronomist, is sent on a clearly defined mission to the strategic island of Malta. His gentle, plucky but frail wife, Anna, accompanies him. Not long after their arrival on the island, they are joined by Joshua's devastatingly good-looking airman brother and, through him, they become acquainted with beautiful and captivating Stephanie Velez; a ruthless charmer of volatile Latin temperament. From the moment Stephanie comes into their lives, a spirit of hatred and suspicion is released among them - and also among their friends. Hiding her motives well behind a veil of charm and occasional, almost pitiful neediness, she systematically endeavours, with snake-like cunning, to drive a wedge between Joshua and Anna. Meanwhile, one after another, convoys bringing food and other supplies to the island, are torpedoed and sunk, and Joshua's strange behaviour eventually leads his wife to suspect that he is somehow involved in this. Suspicion erodes her peace of mind like a cancer, tension among the group gradually mounts until one shocking event follows another to a dramatic conclusion.

Just as in Samaritan of the Sahara , Marie Warder proves in With no remorse... that she is one of South Africa's best writers of suspense fiction.
