A former army sniper, Mercy Gunderson has retired from the service after dying (for a few minutes) in an explosion. Suffering from PTSD, she's been wallowing in alcohol, estranged from her family and most everyone else, but when the man who brought her back to life is murdered outside the bar where Mercy works, she's determined to bring the killer to justice. Even if it means going head-to-head with the Sheriff.
Mercy Kill is the second book in the Mercy Gunderson series, but its the first I've read. I'll have to go back and find the first because Mercy is a fascinating protagonist. She's got problems up the ying yang, but such is her character that she overcomes them, even admitting to being wrong in her judgment of others part of the time. The supporting cast is excellent, while even the bad guys have their moments. I love strong women, and Mercy is right up there with a select few.
