In a city where secrets pour smoother than bourbon and silence can kill quicker than bullets, one man stands between the truth and the shadows.
Private Investigator Frank Mercer knows that murder doesn't always come with blood spatter and screaming. Sometimes, it sits slumped at a mahogany desk in a silk dressing gown - silent, motionless, and surrounded by lies polished to a high shine.
When wealthy patriarch Mr. Appleby is found dead in his study, the cops write it off as natural causes. But behind the marble floors and velvet drapes, every member of the Appleby family has something to hide... and a reason for wanting the old man gone. As Frank digs deeper, contradictions pile up, alibis unravel, and a cryptic poem points toward a truth no one wants exposed. And in this city, the truth doesn't set you free it buries you.
The Mercer Files - The Murder of the Silent Man is a razor-sharp noir mystery drenched in smoke, shadows, and bourbon-soaked secrets. Perfect for fans of classic hardboiled detectives and modern crime fiction alike.
Some murders scream. This one died quiet. And Frank Mercer's the only man willing to listen.
