A Merciful Truth (Mercy Kilpatrick Book 2)

Mercy Kilpatrick, an FBI agent raised by a survivalist family, returns to her hometown of Eagle's Nest, Oregon, where she faces a hostile reception. Her arrival coincides with a series of fires in the rural community that initially appear to be teenage pranks but escalate when two sheriff's deputies are murdered. Working with Police Chief Truman Daly, Mercy investigates the arsonist-turned-killer. Still rejected by her family and community members, Mercy gathers information from local sources. Her investigation leads her to discover rumors of a growing antigovernment militia movement in the area. Suspecting the arsonist may be connected to this group, she pursues the case. As her investigation deepens and uncovers a shocking secret, Mercy faces new challenges in her pursuit of the killer.
