The Mercy Ledger
A Gideon Shaw Mystery
By Harlan Voss
Published by North Watch House Publishing
Some debts refuse to stay buried.
When celebrated heart surgeon Dr. Nathaniel Vale is found dead inside his locked office at a prestigious Chicago medical center, homicide detective Lena Mercer expects a complicated case. Instead, she finds something far more unsettling: a black leather ledger containing six names.
Within hours, one of those names is dead.
Then another is threatened.
And the empty lines at the bottom of the ledger begin to feel less like blank space and more like a promise.
Lena turns to Gideon Shaw, former FBI behavioral analyst and bestselling true-crime author, the one man she knows capable of seeing the pattern everyone else misses. Together they uncover a trail leading to Mercy House, a long-buried institution tied to powerful people, erased histories, and a secret protected for decades.
As the bodies mount, Gideon and Lena must determine whether they are hunting a murderer, an avenger, or someone who believes the two are the same thing.
At the same time, the case begins to intersect with Gideon's own unresolved past, forcing him to confront new questions about Rebecca Holloway, Elliot Crane, and the investigation that ended his career.
Dark, atmospheric, and driven by sharp dialogue, psychological suspense, and a steadily deepening relationship between its two investigators, The Mercy Ledger is the second novel in the Gideon Shaw Mystery series.
For readers who enjoy intelligent crime fiction, forensic mysteries, morally complicated killers, buried conspiracies, and investigators who discover that the truth rarely arrives without a price.
