Quiet Reckoning

A Cole Mercer Thriller

A quiet town. A long-buried secret. A man who doesn’t walk away.

Cole Mercer wasn’t looking for trouble when he stopped in a forgotten Arkansas town—but trouble was already waiting. A decades-old disappearance, a grieving father no one listens to, and a community that has learned to keep its head down.

When Mercer starts asking questions, the town closes ranks. Then the violence begins.

Five men try to silence him. Only one walks away.

Now Mercer knows the truth isn’t gone—it’s been protected. And someone is willing to kill to keep it that way.

With time running out and the past pushing back, Mercer follows the trail into the woods, where the truth has been waiting for years.

Some secrets stay buried.

Others demand to be found.
