The Calculated Fall: Mercer's Stratagem Book 1

By Mark Ellul

Revenge is a game of patience-until time runs out...

Mercer, once a top detective, now runs a seedy pub-a front for the city's criminal underworld. Years ago, exposing a powerful corruption ring cost him his badge. Now, he's biding his time, gathering secrets, and plotting revenge.

When two wronged men seek retribution against the ruthless tycoon Wilkins, Mercer seizes the opportunity to orchestrate a takedown. But as he delves deeper, he discovers that Wilkins' loyal assistant, Susan, harbours dark secrets of her own-secrets that could topple empires.

In a city where betrayal is currency and vengeance comes at a steep price, Mercer must navigate a treacherous path. Will he reclaim justice, or become the very thing he once fought against?

The Calculated Fall is a gripping crime thriller that blurs the lines between hero and villain, justice and revenge.
