How far can compassion bend before it becomes murder?
Veterinarian Jim Briggs has devoted his life to easing suffering. On the streets of Chicago, he treats the injured dogs of people society has abandoned. Sometimes he treats their wounds, too.
But Briggs offers a darker form of mercy to those who have lost all hope.
Known among the homeless as the Angel of Mercy, he secretly helps desperate men and women end their lives. Every death leaves another weight on his conscience, yet he remains convinced that allowing unbearable suffering can be crueler than breaking the law.
Then Mattie Powell, the beloved unofficial mayor of a homeless encampment, is murdered.
When suspicion falls on a troubled man seeking Briggs's help to die, Briggs and veterinary surgeon Jenny Morrison begin their own search for the killer. What they uncover forces Briggs to confront the secrets of the people he has tried to save, the dangerous consequences of playing God, and the possibility that mercy can hide motives far darker than compassion.
Angel of Mercy is a psychological suspense about guilt, despair, murder, and the perilously thin line between saving a life and deciding when it should end.
