The Mercer Files: Already Dead

A storm is rolling in over Blackmere Manor.

Inside, the whiskey is poured, the candles are lit, and six guests sit down to dinner with a single understanding:

Someone in the room is a murderer.

Private investigator Frank Mercer wasn’t invited for the conversation. He was invited to witness what happens when secrets finally surface. Blackmail, old money, and quiet betrayals hang heavier in the air than the cigar smoke drifting across the table.

Then the first glass tips over.

What begins as an evening of accusations quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Every guest at the table has a reason to lie. Every one of them has something to hide. And before the night is over, someone else will die.

Trapped inside the manor while the storm rages outside, Mercer must untangle a web of lies before the truth is buried with the next body.

Because in a room full of secrets…

someone was already dead the moment the doors were locked.
