Mercy Gunderson has quickly become one of my new favorite heroines. Fierce and fun with some added attitude, Mercy follows the likes of Eve Dallas and is sure to be as successful and well-loved as J.D. Robb's epic heroine. Mercy has that same grit and drive and her keen instincts make her a great FBI agent. Though far from perfect, Armstrong creates a heroine that readers can relate to.
Mercy hasn't even settled in yet before her first murder case involving a young girl forces her into action. The victim is the niece of a recently elected tribal president whose media coverage is in high demand. Adding to that pressure is Mercy's personal life where her boyfriend, Eagle River County sheriff Mason Dawson brings his eleven- year-old son into their home after he's been getting into fights at school.
Balancing her professional career with her personal life has been a tough juggle for Mercy and this struggle follows her throughout this book. As the mystery escalates and another killing occurs, Mercy and her fellow FBI agent Shay Turnball contemplate the possibility of connected crimes.
Armstrong takes readers on an intense ride. Unforgiving in its graphic details and plot twists, Armstrong delivers a mystery that is pure perfection! MERCILESS is mystery done right!
Mercy Gunderson is thrown into her first FBI murder case,
working with the tribal police on the Eagle River
Reservation, where the victim is the teenaged niece of the
recently elected tribal president. When another gruesome
killing occurs during the early stages of the
investigation, Mercy and fellow FBI agent Shay Turnbull are
at odds about whether the crimes are connected.
Mercy canβt discuss her reservations about the baffling
cases with her live-in boyfriend, Eagle River County
Sheriff Mason Dawson, due to job confidentiality, and the
coupleβs home on the ranch descends into chaos when
Dawsonβs eleven-year-old-son Lex is sent to live with them.
While hidden political agendas and old family vendettas
turn ugly, masking motives and causing a rift among the
tribal police, the tribal council, and the FBI, Mercy
realizes that the deranged killer is still at largeβand is
playing a dangerous game with his sights set on Mercy as
his next victim.
Torn between her duty to the FBI and her duties to those
she loves, Mercy must unleash the cold, dark, merciless
killer inside her and become the predator, rather than the
prey.
