Description
His daughter was taken. He’ll never get her back.
Set in the near future, Matt Deal is a British businessman married into a wealthy Florida family.
Mercy, his fifteen-year-old daughter, is the glue in his rocky marriage to Lorey. His life is changed forever after Mercy is brutally sexually assaulted on a Destin beach leaving her in a persistent vegetative state.
Trusting the local detectives to bring the rapists to justice, mixed martial arts expert Deal concentrates in vain on his Florida gym business, only to have his world further explode on learning the men responsible for his daughter’s injuries may escape justice. Deal is isolated and at his wit's end after his rich father-in-law sends death threats blaming him for all these ills.
Who can he turn to? Where can he go? What will he do? Who can he trust?
Will he return to a post-Brexit Britain or ultimately will he seek revenge?
Fans of Jack Reacher, Barry Eisler, and any vigilante justice novel will love this book.
Advance Praise
The opening scene is gruesome and very descriptive but relevant to the whole story and its character building and the very purpose of Matt Deal and his justice that he needs to serve! Matt Deal just doesn't seem to catch a break whether it be his wife and his overbearing father in law who blames him for everything that has happened. But the truth will be revealed and Matt Deal will seek bloody revenge on all who has done himself and his daughter wrong. They say revenge is a dish best served cold......but for Matt Deal it is a dish best served with justice. Anyway he can get it! Great book written well. Intense and an emotional rollercoaster. Read it in one sitting and I think that says enough about how I view this book. Big fat 5 stars - Goodreads
Mercy is an awesome book. Detective Matt Deal has a lot to deal with between his wife, Lorey and his daughter, Mercy. This book will have you hooked right from the start. It's set in the near future and all the things happening could be actually happening now. The lengths dads will go to for their daughter/s is infinite. Matt and his partner, Wolfie, have a great partnership, can't wait to see where their story progresses throughout the series. It is a must read for anyone who loves a good thriller. - Goodreads

Matt Deal has experienced the worst side of life, his daughter Mercy was gangraped and left in such a bad state she will never live a normal life. The police investigation is tainted, loss of evidence meant the people were never prosecuted. In his despair he returns home to the U.K and starts a new life as a detective. When his new life turns sour and he finds himself dodging the law in thw U.K , Matt turns to his friend Wolfie, who using her special skills, arranges his return to America where he finally discovers the truth about the night of his daughter's rape, and this sets him on his own course of revenge.
I found Mercy very intense and a past paced story. Matt just never gets on the right side and I found I was just so hoping he would find peace...and a little love with Wolfie!
