The Mercy Docket

When the dead start testifying, Detective Della Morrow has to decide whether the murders in Tilden County are vengeance, judgment, or something worse.

The first body is found inside a church baptistry with a question taped to the glass.

Where were you when I was hungry?

Then the summons begin.

At midnight, the guilty wake inside a ruined courtroom where every ignored cry, every locked door, and every convenient silence is dragged into the light. The town thinks God is on trial for all the suffering He allowed. But the longer Della investigates, the clearer it becomes that the real case is against the people who saw mercy as someone else's job.

Della does not want faith. She does not want forgiveness. She wants evidence, a killer, and an answer for the brother she lost to the streets after she stopped answering his calls.

But the homeless man who appears near every crime scene knows things no witness should know. The dead are speaking. The living are lying. And someone in Tilden County has learned how to use holy words to hide murder.

The Mercy Docket is a dark faith thriller about grief, judgment, hypocrisy, mercy, and the terrifying question no one wants to answer:

What if every person we ignored remembered?
