The Mercer Files

By Craig Brynjar

A body staged like a message. A city built on steel and secrets. A detective who knows the past never stays buried.
When a man is found carefully positioned on a slab of gritstone near Stanage Edge, Detective Rowan Mercer is drawn into a case that feels wrong from the start. The scene is deliberate. The clues are thin. And the echoes lead back to Kelham Island - the industrial heart of Sheffield, where the past has a habit of resurfacing.
As Mercer digs deeper, he uncovers threads that wind through the city's old steelworks, forgotten workshops, and the shadows of the River Don. Each step pulls him closer to a truth someone has gone to great lengths to hide.
Haunted by old failures and driven by a need to understand what really woke in the dark, Mercer finds himself racing a danger that has been gathering for years.
The Mercer Files, Volume I launches a gripping new British crime series rooted in the grit, atmosphere, and character of Sheffield. Perfect for readers who love tense investigations, flawed detectives, and mysteries that stay with you long after the final page
