Mercy Kill-Midwest Connections

Fourth-generation South Dakotan Lori Armstrong takes readers straight into the heart of rural South Dakota with Mercy Kill, a fast-paced, thrilling follow-up toThe Wall Street Journal bestseller No Mercy.

“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.”
