Police officer Ellery Hathaway and FBI profiler Reed
Markham take on two difficult new cases in this stunning
follow-up to The Vanishing Season. No Mercy is award-winning author Joanna
Schaffhausen’s heart-pounding second novel. Police officer Ellery Hathaway is on involuntary leave from
her job because she shot a murderer in cold blood and
refuses to apologize for it. Forced into group therapy for
victims of violent crime, Ellery immediately finds higher
priorities than “getting in touch with her feelings.” For one, she suspects a fellow group member may have helped
to convict the wrong man for a deadly arson incident years
ago. For another, Ellery finds herself in the desperate
clutches of a woman who survived a brutal rape. He is still
out there, this man with the Spider-Man-like ability to
climb through bedroom windows, and his victim beseeches
Ellery for help in capturing her attacker. Ellery seeks advice from her friend, FBI profiler Reed
Markham, who liberated her from a killer’s closet when she
was a child. Reed remains drawn to this unpredictable woman,
the one he rescued but couldn’t quite save. The trouble is,
Reed is up for a potential big promotion, and his boss has
just one condition for the new job—stay away from Ellery.
Ellery ignores all the warnings. Instead, she starts digging
around in everyone’s past but her own—a move that, at best,
could put her out of work permanently, and at worst, could
put her in the city morgue.
