Mercy – Jodi Picoult

Description

In Mercy, bestselling author Jodi Picoult explores the complexities of love, loyalty, and moral obligation in a small Massachusetts town. Police chief Cameron McDonald faces the most agonising decision of his career when his cousin Jamie walks into the station and confesses to killing his terminally ill wife out of mercy.

As the town becomes divided over the controversial case, the murder trial stirs powerful emotions and long-buried secrets. At home, Cameron’s once-stable marriage is tested when his wife, Allie, finds herself drawn to the idea of a love so intense it would cross any boundary — even death. Her growing fascination with Jamie’s devotion leads to an unexpected betrayal and forces her to question the very nature of love.

With her signature blend of emotional depth and moral inquiry, Jodi Picoult weaves a thought-provoking story about when love demands impossible choices and how far one is willing to go for the people they cherish. Mercy is a gripping, heartfelt novel that lingers long after the final page.

Perfect for fans of emotionally charged dramas and ethical dilemmas in fiction.
