Mercy Killing

Is it murder or justice? This mystery "keeps you guessing until the final, thrilling sentence" (Elizabeth Haynes, New York Times–bestselling author of Into the Darkest Corner).

 


When local sex offender Albie Woodville is killed, it puts DI Harry Powell and DC Hazel Hamilton under immense pressure in the East Rise incident room. They must treat this case the same as any other murder, but they know better than anyone the evil things Albie did when he was alive . . .


 


But as the investigation progresses, it becomes clear this isn't just a one-off killing. Someone is out for revenge. Will the team solve the case in time to stop more blood from being shed?


 


Written by a real life police detective, Mercy Killing is a gripping crime thriller about the thin line between justice and vengeance.
