MERCILESS
ARMSTRONG, LORI
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Mercy Gunderson is thrown into her first FBI murder case, working with the tribal police on the Eagle River
Reservation, where the victim is the teenaged niece of the recently elected tribal president. When another
gruesome killing occurs during the early stages of the investigation, Mercy and fellow FBI agent Shay Turnbull
are at odds about whether the crimes are connected. Mercy can’t discuss her reservations about the baffling
cases with her live-in boyfriend, Eagle River County Sheriff Mason Dawson, due to job confidentiality, and the
couple’s home on the ranch descends into chaos when Dawson’s eleven-year-old-son Lex is sent to live with
them. While hidden political agendas and old family vendettas turn ugly, masking motives and causing a rift
among the tribal police, the tribal council, and the FBI, Mercy realizes that the deranged killer is still at large—
and is playing a dangerous game with his sights set on Mercy as his next victim.

MERIVAL
TREMAIN, ROSE
Robert Merivel, courtier to Charles II is no longer a young man -- but off he goes to France in search of the Sun
King and to Switzerland in pursuit of a handsome woman. Versailles -- all glitter in front and squalor behind -- is
a fiasco: Merivel is forced to share an attic (and a chamber pot) with a Dutch clock-maker while attempting to
sustain himself on peas and jam and water from the fountains. Switzerland, by contrast, is perhaps a little too
comfortable. But the lady, a clever botanist, leads Merivel deliciously on -- until her jealous husband bursts in
with duelling pistols. As he narrates the picaresque journey, Merivel gets into all sorts of scrapes; he is torn
between enjoying himself and making something of his life, through medicine and the study of science. He tries
to be diligent, but constantly backslides into laugher and laziness. A big-hearted rogue who loves his daughter,
his country house and the English King... Merivel is Everyman -- and he speaks directly to us down the
centuries.
