The Mailman

Mercury Carter, a federal agent turned freelance courier, just wants to make his delivery to a lawyer in her suburban Indianapolis home and be on his way. Once there, however, he encounters a gang of killers and the lawyer and her husband in mortal danger. Soon, Carter is playing a violent game of cat-and-mouse across the Midwest as he seeks to save the couple and unravel a deadly mystery.

"This exciting thriller had me turning the pages, desperate to see what would happen next as the plot raced from one twist to the next. Action-packed and clever, this is a nimble mystery for the 21st century, with an unforgettable hero who’s my newest favorite fictional character." 
-CRIMINAL ELEMENT
“The Mailman” does all the necessary work of establishing a new hero, while also delivering (pun intended) a genuinely involving and suspenseful action thriller."
- CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“I dare you to read the first chapter of THE MAILMAN and not be completely hooked.  This is the best kind of thriller, where nobody is who you think they are and every twist in the story is a bigger surprise than you ever could have imagined.” 
- STEVE HAMILTON, two-time Edgar Award-winning author of The Honorable Assassin
