No Time For Mercy (Paperback or Softback)

A widower in despair over the brutal death of his daughter, Stephanie, Bart Steele becomes enraged when accused killer Darrell Martin is acquitted on a legal technicality. Following the verdict in a Florida courtroom, an impromptu remark from a sympathetic court officer gives Bart the idea to seek revenge. He abandons the idea as the risks feel too great.

Crown Royal becomes Bart’s daily distraction and solace—until a devastating twist of fate makes him feel he has nothing to lose. Strong and athletic even at 62, Bart begins to plan how he will avenge his daughter. He becomes stealthy as he gathers information on his victim.

Committing the act of vengeance sparks immediate remorse for Bart but also a sense of relief. In this tale of revenge, justice, denial and redemption, Bart moves into his new life as an avenger. An ever-faithful follower of local crime news, he dedicates himself to righting other wrongs, giving other families the closure he so craved.

Convinced that Bart is a suspect, local police keep pressure on him, and his life is in constant turmoil and danger from the criminals whose lives he has become entangled in. Then, life hands Bart two additional twists of fate, a chance at new love among them, and he must decide…will he abandon his vigilante life or continue the important work of righting wrongs?
