David Mercer Legal Thriller Series
The Sealed Deal
A sharp, fast prequel you can finish in one sitting—the first crack in the machine that will become Inheritance of Lies.
Before the lies unraveled… one deal sealed everything.
David Mercer thinks he’s handling a simple settlement—numbers, signatures, and one tidy resolution. But buried in the fine print is a clause that doesn’t belong, tied to people who don’t like loose ends.
When Mercer asks the wrong question, the room changes. The offer on the table isn’t just money—it’s silence. And once he signs, the fallout will echo all the way into Inheritance of Lies.
- Perfect entry point into the David Mercer universe.
- Direct setup to the events of Inheritance of Lies.
- Compact, high-tension legal thriller built for a single sitting.
Inheritance of Lies
The case that rips open a sealed docket, a powerful firm, and the cost of telling the truth in a system built on silence.
A prestigious firm. A dangerous client. A docket that was never meant to be opened.
David Mercer leaves the DA’s office for a high-powered Kansas City firm, ready to trade late-night case files for big-money clients. But his first major case—representing a well-connected businessman—comes with sealed documents, internal restrictions, and warnings he can’t quite explain.
The deeper Mercer digs, the more he uncovers: a secret network of shell companies, shadowy nonprofits, and a sealed case known only as Docket 53. When the threats move from his office to his family, he has to decide how much of himself he’s willing to put on the line.
- Series launch that introduces David Mercer, Lauren, Riley, Raymond, and the forces behind Docket 53.
- Perfect for readers who love firm politics, courtroom pressure, and long-game conspiracies.

Shadow Network
Exposing one case didn’t kill the machine—it forced it to evolve. Now the network steps out of the shadows to clean up its own mess.
The conspiracy didn’t end with a verdict. It adapted.
With the events of Inheritance of Lies still echoing through the courts and the media, the people behind Docket 53 are done playing defense. Files disappear, witnesses recant, and new “allies” arrive with solutions that cost more than they promise.
As Mercer closes in on the truth behind the shadow network, he discovers that exposing the system might not be enough—he’ll have to survive what it does to people who don’t fall in line.
- Direct continuation of the Mercer storyline after Inheritance of Lies.
- Expands the conspiracy beyond one firm and one file.
- Raises the stakes for Mercer’s family, reputation, and future cases.
