Mehl Ramps Up the Suspense in This Brand-New U.S.
Marshals Series
Mercy Brennan followed in her father's footsteps in a law
enforcement career, but she has no interest in any other
connection to him. A U.S. Marshal in St. Louis, Missouri,
she's assigned to a joint task force with the St. Louis PD
that puts her back into contact with her father and in the
sights of St. Louis's most powerful gang.
When the gang has reason to believe Mercy has possession of
some highly sensitive and incriminating information, her
boss assigns Mark St. Laurent--a Deputy U.S. Marshal and
Mercy's ex-boyfriend--to get her out of town until they can
guarantee her safety.
Initially unaware of the danger she's in and uncomfortable
working with Mark, Mercy's frustration escalates when she
discovers the extent her boss and Mark have been keeping her
in the dark. It isn't until a freak ice storm hits,
stranding them at a remote location and out of contact with
the district office, that the full severity of their
situation becomes clear. As the storm worsens, the forces of
nature combine with a deadly enemy closing in to put their
lives at imminent risk. Can they survive long enough for
help to arrive--if help is even coming at all?
