Have no Mercy is classic story of revenge. Two boyhood friends-- David, a shy loner, and Todd, a charismatic con man--turned into bitter enemies and will do anything to get even with each other. After a big blowout that took place when they were in their twenties, they had hoped to never see each other again, but now their lives are about to collide in a very unpleasant way.

After a chance encounter the hatred has resurged, as if it had never been gone. However, the revenge plot that is hatched will involve more people than just these two men and ruin many lives. Once the two are consumed with this hatred, there is no stopping the evil consequences.

Have no Mercy is one of those books that is hard to review because I don't want to give anything away and even small details are important in this book. Ruble makes every word count, and judging by his word usage, his love for them is obvious. My favorite part of this book are the descriptions of the lavish houses and the spectacular get-aways. The main characters are expertly crafted and while I would have liked to get in David's head a bit more, the actions are suitable to each person. This is a very entertaining book that makes me hope I don't have any friends like David or Todd!
