Nameless follows last year's Traceless, described by New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose as, "a riveting entanglement of intrigue, secrets, and passions that had me racing to its breathless  end." Later this year Faceless will debut. Each is a standalone romantic thriller, though they share in common an Alabama setting and a large cast of characters struggling against desperate odds and their own personal demons.

In Nameless, FBI rookie Vivian Grace must team up with veteran Ryan McBride to hunt down a child kidnapper. Grace was once a victim of a kidnapper herself. McBride is an ex-agent scapegoated three years earlier for a kidnapping gone fatally wrong. Together they must overcome a foe who uses their darkest secrets against them as time runs out on the victims.

Debra is a prolific writer, with over 75 books to her credit. In addition to her thrillers for St. Martin's, she's written romantic suspense for Harlequin, Harlequin Intrigue, and Harlequin Next. Her popular Colby Agency series is now up to nearly 30 titles, and she has plans for still more. With all that success and experience, it's no surprise that last year she received a Romantic Times Career  Achievement Award. She's currently at work on a new group of thrillers for St. Martin's set on the southern coast of Maine. With an air of ominous delight, Debra says, "the next three books will feature my most heinous villains yet!"

About her writing, Debra says, "When I'm really on top of my game, I get up and go straight to the computer (with a cup of coffee in hand, of course) and write before real life has a chance to kill the mood." More often she writes when she can in the gaps among the rest of life. She find her ideas not only from her varied life history, but also from the news and even from lifestyle magazines. "My goal is to take ordinary people to the darkest, grittiest places, toss in the most heinous villains imaginable, and let the stories play out," she explains. "Everyone is afraid of something and I want more than anything to touch those emotions in my readers." In Nameless, as in all her writing, you can be sure she does.

Debra Webb wrote her first story at age nine and her first romance at thirteen. It wasn’t until she spent three years working for the military behind the Iron Curtain and within the confining political Walls of Berlin, Germany, that she realized her true calling. A five-year stint with NASA on the Space Shuttle Program reinforced her love of the endless possibilities within her grasp as a storyteller. A collision course between suspense and romance was set. Debra has been writing romantic suspense and action packed romantic thrillers since.
