Mercy Kill

Following No Mercy, former Army sniper Mercy Gunderson returns in the second book in Shamus Award-winning author Lori Armstrong's gripping new mystery series. It's late April in South Dakota and 8 months have passed since Mercy Gunderson returned home to the family ranch. After spending the better part of two decades in the Army, she's had difficulty adjusting to the laidback rhythm of civilian life. So when her best buddy asks her to fill in a couple nights a week as a bartender at Clementine's, Mercy jumps at the chance. In recent months, a controversial underground oil pipeline proposed to run from Canada straight across Gunderson has led to numerous bar fights. After an employee of the oil company is found dead in the parking lot one night, Mercy starts investigating and will stop at nothing to find out the truth. Lori Armstrong is the winner of the 2009 Shamus Award for Best Paperback Original by The Private Eye Writers of America for her novel Snow Blind from her previous Julie Collins series.
