When a wagonload of painted ladies rolls into Mercy, Texas, and sets up shop in the old railroad bunkhouse, Marshal Jack Hardesty and Deputy Kit Sloan figure it’s just another day keeping the peace.
They’re wrong.
Dead wrong.
Behind the red lanterns and silk sheets lurks a deadly web of election-rigging, secret tunnels, a Luciferian society called the Hive, and a ruthless mayor who’ll stop at nothing to keep his iron grip on the town. As ballots burn, bodies drop, and old alliances turn to blood, Hardesty and Sloan find themselves caught between a sharp-tongued madam who plays the game better than any man… and a conspiracy that could swallow Mercy whole.
In the hard country of West Texas, mercy is in short supply''and sometimes the only law that matters is the one you enforce with cold steel and an unyielding will.
From the acclaimed Hardesty/Sloan series comes a gritty, lightning-paced tale of corruption, courage, and the oldest profession in the newest boomtown.
