About the Book

The Delivery: A Mercury Carter Thriller

Freelance courier Mercury Carter races against time and across New England to rescue a trafficking victim in this new thriller from the author of THE MAILMAN.

Mercury Carter is not your typical deliveryman. A former postal inspector, he specializes in moving sensitive or dangerous packages --- of all sorts --- from point A to B. And sometimes he needs his gun to do so. Carter’s current mission leads him to Providence, Rhode Island, but his delivery is interrupted when he comes across a woman badly injured in a car wreck in the pouring rain. Then a man with a gun appears, warning Carter away from the scene. Carter leaps into action, disarming the attacker and rescuing the crash victim.

Just as Carter thinks the danger has passed, he discovers a deeper mystery stemming from the crash, a deadly puzzle involving a memorable pair of grifters, a crooked ex-cop, stolen identities, human trafficking and murder. And it appears that Carter’s next assignment will put him right in this conspiracy’s perilous center.

The follow-up to last year’s acclaimed hit, THE MAILMAN, which launched the Mercury Carter series, THE DELIVERY is a fast-paced, unpredictable thriller following a memorable protagonist whose resourcefulness is matched only by his quick wit and determination to never miss a delivery.
