Mercy / Michael Palmer and Daniel Palmer.
Dr. Julie Devereux is an outspoken advocate for the right to die--until a motorcycle accident leaves her fiance, Sam Talbot, a quadriplegic. He begs to die, but Julie sees hope in a life together. With the help of an organization that opposes physician-assisted suicide, Julie has Sam coming around to her point of view when he suddenly dies from an unexpected heart attack. An autopsy reveals that Sam died of an unusual heart defect, one seen only in those under extreme stress--in fact, it appears that Sam had been literally scared to death. As Julia investigates similar cases, she finds a frightening pattern...and finds herself the target of disturbing threats. The more cases Julia discovers, the more the threats escalate, until she is accused of a mercy killing of her own. To clear her name and save her career, she must track down whoever is behind these mysterious deaths...but time is running out, as someone decided that killing Julia is the only way to stop her. -- Provided by publisher.
