So she's turned her talent for fixing cars into a business and now runs a one-woman mechanic shop in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State. <p/>But Mercy's two worlds are colliding. A half-starved teenage boy arrives at her shop looking for work, only to reveal that he's a newly changed werewolf--on the run and desperately trying to control his animal instincts. Mercy asks her neighbor Adam Hauptman, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, for assistance. <p/>But Mercy's act of kindness has unexpected consequences that leave her no choice but to seek help from those she once considered family--the werewolves who abandoned her... <p/><b>"In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best."--<i>Locus</i></b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Patricia Briggs<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ace Books<br><b>Published:</b> 02/01/2006<br><b>Pages:</b> 304<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.74h x 4.22w x 0.85d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780441013814<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Patricia Briggs</b> is the #1 <i>New York Tim
