The Delivery

A Mercury Carter Thriller

Merc Carter is not your typical deliveryman. A former postal inspector, he specializes in moving sensitive or dangerous packages—of all sorts—from point A to B. And sometimes he needs his gun to do so. Carter's current mission leads him to Providence, Rhode Island, but his delivery is interrupted when he comes across a woman badly injured in a car wreck in the pouring rain. Then a man with a gun appears warning Carter away from the scene and Carter leaps into action, disarming the attacker and rescuing the crash victim.

Just as Carter thinks the danger has passed, he discovers a deeper mystery stemming from the crash, a deadly puzzle involving a memorable pair of grifters, a crooked ex-cop, stolen identities, human trafficking, and murder. And it appears that Carter's next assignment will put him right in this conspiracy's perilous center . . .

The follow-up to last year's acclaimed hit, The Mailman, which launched the Mercury Carter series, The Delivery is a fast-paced, unpredictable thriller following a memorable protagonist whose resourcefulness is matched only by his quick wit and determination to never miss a delivery.

A fast-paced thriller with staying power

After catching a radio interview with Andrew Welsh-Huggins, I was intrigued enough by his perspective to pick up The Delivery. I’m glad I did—this book is an incredibly entertaining, fast-paced ride with a storyline that maintains its momentum from start to finish.
The plot is tight and offers great follow-through, but it’s the memorable characters that really anchor the experience. It is a very well-written, engaging read that kept me curious and invested until the final page. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a sharp, cohesive thriller.
