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
“Head-knocking courier Mercury Carter gets tangled in overlapping criminal conspiracies in Welsh-Huggins’s solid sequel to The Mailman."
― Publisher’s Weekly
“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
