A Library Journal Mystery Pick of the Month
Mercury Carter is a deliveryman, and when a parcel is under his care, he will stop at nothing to deliver it directly to its intended recipient. Not even, as in the current case, when he finds a crew of violent men at the indicated address that threaten his life. The leader of the gang escapes with attorney Rachel Stanfield before the mailman can complete his assignment. Carter takes off in pursuit of the kidnapper and his quarry. Along the way, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy and a powerful crime syndicate, all in service of his main objective: to hand the package over to Rachel. Carter has never missed a delivery and isn't about to start now.
