Eight cases. One city. No clean endings.Frank Mercer is a private investigator in a city that feeds on good intentions. Missing girls, crooked judges, whispered confessions, and crimes that refuse to stay buried, each case drags him deeper into a world where truth is dangerous and loyalty is fatal.The Mercer Files collects all eight episodes of Season One into a single volume, following a detective who keeps choosing the city over himself, even as it costs him more than he can afford. Every decision leaves a mark. Every compromise takes something he won't get back.This is noir at its darkest, rain-soaked streets, cigarette smoke, and moral lines that blur until they disappear entirely. There are no heroes here. Only men who keep going because stopping would mean facing what they've become.If you believe justice has a price, and you're willing to watch a man pay it one piece at a time, this book is waiting.
