Kendra Elliot’s interesting book “A Merciful Fate” expresses the life of FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick, who has an unusual past. Mercy was raised by preppers, so she’s naturally protective. When the skeleton remains of a murdered man connected to a well-known theft are found, her hidden haven in the Cascade Foothills becomes the focus of mystery.
As Mercy looks into it, past injuries come to light, mysteries are revealed, and the tight-knit community shows its darker side. Mercy must act quickly to reveal a well-known stranger before more lives are lost as danger looms.
