Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during October 2016 is …
Without Mercy by Jefferson Bass, a Bill Brockton, Body Farm Mystery (10th in series)
Publisher: William Morrow
Forensic anthropologist Bill Brockton has spent twenty-five years solving brutal murders — but none so bizarre and merciless as his latest case: A ravaged set of skeletal remains is found chained to a tree on a remote mountainside. As Brockton and his assistant Miranda dig deeper, they uncover warning signs of a deadly eruption of hatred and violence.
But the shocking case is only the beginning of Brockton's trials. Mid-case, the unthinkable happens: The deadliest criminal Brockton has ever foiled — the sadistic serial killer Nick Satterfield — escapes from prison, bent on vengeance.
But simply killing Brockton isn't enough. Satterfield wants to make him suffer first, by destroying everything he holds dear: Brockton's son, daughter-in-law, grandsons; even Miranda, his longtime graduate assistant, now on the verge of completing her Ph.D. and launching a forensic career of her own.
The dangers from all directions force Brockton to question two things on which he's based his entire career — the justice system, and the quality of mercy — and to wonder: can the two co-exist?
If not, which will Brockton choose in his ultimate moment of truth?
— Without Mercy by Jefferson Bass
