Jance, Nevada Barr, and C.J. Box comes Shamus Award-winning author Lori Armstrong's sharp and gritty <i>Merciless</i>, about Black Ops army sniper-turned-FBI agent Mercy Gunderson and her quest for vengeance when a killer narrows his sights on her and her family.</b> <p/><b>Torn between her duties to the FBI and her need to keep her loved ones safe, former black-ops army sniper Mercy Gunderson must unleash the cold, dark, merciless killer inside her and become the predator . . . rather than the prey.</b> <p/><b>Newly minted agent Mercy Gunderson is back and ready for action-- </b>unfortunately, she's stuck doing paperwork in an overheated government office building. But she gets more than she bargained for when she's thrown into her first FBI murder case, working with the tribal police on the Eagle River Reservation, where the victim is the teenage 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. <p/>Due to job confidentiality, Mercy can't discuss her misgivings about the baffling cases with her boyfriend, Eagle River County sheriff Mason Dawson, and the couple's home on the ranch descends into chaos when Dawson's eleven-year-old son Lex is sent to live with them. While Mercy struggles to find a balance, 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. Soon, however, Mercy realizes that the deranged killer is still at large--and is playing a dangerous game with his sights set on Mercy as his next victim.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Armstrong] has created a grittier character in Mercy Gunderson....Fans of the Collins mysteries should embrace this new novel with open arms, but the author could pick up some new readers, too, on the strength of this new heroine."-- "Booklist"<br><br>"[A] smartly written, high-velocity tale."-- "The Wall Street Journal"<br><br>"Mercy Gunderson [is] a complicated and fascinating character whose presence in modern novels is way overdue."-- "USA Today"<br><br>"With a gutsy heroine, sharp humor, and a strong sense of place, Armstrong has created a winning series. The female veteran perspective is particularly fresh--not unlike a young V.I. Warshawski gone rural. Craig Johnson and C.J. Box fans should like it, too. Highly recommended."-- "Library Journal (starred review)"<br><br>"Mercy is one of the best female characters around, and you can quote me on that."--Lisa Gardner, author of Love You More and Live To Tell<br><br>"Mercy Gunderson shoots straight onto the list of my favorite heroines.

[Her books are] a hard-edged, fast-paced, no-holds-barred roller coaster ride."--Allison Brennan, author of Original Sin and Fatal Secrets<br><br>"People always ask me what I read and I tell them Lori Armstrong. There comes a point when I need to read her like I need a shot of whiskey at the end of a hard day; Lori's writing is like that, unforgiving and deeply satisfying."--Craig Johnson, author of The Cold Dish and The Dark Horse<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lori Armstrong</b> is the two-time winner of the Shamus Award given by the Private Eye Writers of America and a <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of romantic fiction, written as Lorelei James.
