A Merciful Silence (Mercy Kilpatrick Book 4)

FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick returns to her rural Oregon hometown and draws on her survivalist background to protect her community. When a rainstorm uncovers the remains of five people, the discovery echoes a double-family murder from twenty years prior. The man convicted for those crimes remains imprisoned, raising questions about whether a copycat killer is at work or an innocent person is incarcerated. The sole survivor of the original crimes has returned to town but maintains she has no memory of the night she was attacked. As the investigation deepens and becomes increasingly dangerous, Mercy suspects the woman may not have forgotten what happened—she may be deliberately withholding the truth. The case forces Mercy and police chief Truman Daly to confront a dark past, and uncovering the secrets at stake could come with serious consequences.
