Beg For Mercy

"A stunning book and a series that has become a must read." M.W. Craven, Sunday Times Bestselling author of the Washington Poe series

In a battle for innocence, a cop and a convicted murderer collide. But who holds the key to redemption?
Fifteen years have passed since Solomon Gray, then a new detective on his first case, played a pivotal role in sending notorious crime boss Duncan Usher to prison for the murder of his wife. But now, a technicality has set Usher free, and he's consumed by a burning desire for revenge against the dirty cop who orchestrated his downfall.
Usher, harbouring a deep-seated grudge, approaches Gray with a chilling proposition - that Gray be his inside man within the police force. Gray refuses, yet Usher wields a dangerous weapon: crucial information regarding Gray's missing son.
Gray embarks on a perilous double game. On one side, working alongside Usher, while on the other, doggedly pursuing his own secret investigation, determined to uncover the truth about the events that transpired all those years ago.
As Gray straddles the thin line between loyalty and betrayal, he risks losing everything - his reputation, his freedom, and even the chance to find his son. Gray's quest for justice propels him toward a collision course with his own past, threatening to unravel not only Usher's sinister plans but also the very foundations of Gray's existence.
In this gripping tale of cat-and-mouse, Detective Solomon Gray races against time, torn between the pursuit of truth and the looming spectre of a vengeful adversary. Will he unravel the web of lies and expose the secrets hidden in the shadows? Or will the weight of the past prove too heavy, dragging Gray down into the abyss? The answer holds the key to his son's fate and his own redemption.
Beg For Mercy is the third book in this detective thriller series, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, LJ Ross, Stuart MacBride, and Peter James.
