Dark Side of Mercy

Notorious businessman, Horatio Lundlum hires Benjamin Thomas to retrieve a stolen ledger that can expose a criminal network. Ben is quickly pulled into a vortex of blackmail and murder that forces him to confront the city's most powerful figures while battling demons that have haunted him since his wife's murder.

While unravelling the mystery, Ben falls for Linda Lundlum, Horatio's daughter-a striking and alluring woman whose motives seem to be to protect her father at all costs. In a world where truth hides in shadows and every clue leads deeper into the city's corruption, Ben's only hope to solve the case may rest in the hands of a recluse Holocaust survivor.

Dark Side of Mercy is the follow-up novel to No Solace in Death. Douglas Herle's complex noir tale delves into the nature of corruption, while exploring tragic characters living in a world where making moral choices may not be the right ones.
