No Mercy

Jack Adams, who owns a private investigation company, is a friend of Grace who helps her to get the abusers. In the beginning, he helped only when she got in too deep but now he does it to be close to her.

The most recent case they are working on is about a particularly violent abuser, Michael Jacobs. He tortured and killed his girlfriend's little dog Pepper. He spent a year in jail for that crime but Grace doesn't believe it was adequate punishment. Grace lives in an old asylum she bought and fixed up in which there is a treatment room in the basement that is used to punish the abuser; to do to them what they did to their victims. They also tattoo their crime on their forehead. After Grace's mother died, she found two boxes of notes her father had made before he died 17 years ago in a car accident. Now Grace thinks his death may not have been an accident. With the help of a reporter, a cop, and a tattooist, Grace and her friends try to put the pieces and scraps of information her father left to take down a Nazi scientist, a gunrunner and his psycho girlfriend whose dad is a hit-man.
