The Delivery
Freelance courier Mercury Carter races against time and across New England to rescue a trafficking victim in this new thriller from the author of The Mailman, selected by Library Journal as one of the best mysteries of 2025.
"The Delivery starts strong and doesn’t let up until the last page, striking a keen balance between edge-of-your-seat action and careful character work. If Andrew Welsh-Huggins keeps this up, it won’t be long before Mercury Carter makes it into the pantheon of literary action heroes." ― Rob Hart, USA Today bestselling author of the Assassins Anonymous series“Andrew Welsh-Huggins has done it again with THE DELIVERY—another frenetic, kinetic thriller starring his off-kilter and likeable protagonist Mercury Carter. Carter may be driving, but it’s Welsh-Huggins who never takes his foot off the gas."― James Byrne, author of The Gatekeeper and Chain Reaction“THE DELIVERY is a fun and exciting nonstop thriller, and Mercury Carter remains one of the most unique protagonists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.” ― Bookreporter
