Mercy's Chase

Jess Lourey

"An immersive voice, an intriguing story, a wonderful character―highly recommended!" ―Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author

What if everything you thought you knew about Stonehenge was wrong?

When agoraphobic genius Salem Wiley lands her dream job as an FBI cryptanalyst, she vows never to return to the witch hunt underworld, where ancient secrets encrypted by hunted women have the power to rewrite history. Her resolve disappears when sweet Mercy Mayfair, the child she is pledged to protect, is kidnapped. As the clock ticks, Salem must face the terrible truth that there is only one way to free Mercy: crack the unbreakable code of Stonehenge.

"Both a sweeping adventure and race-against-time thriller, Mercy's Chase is fascinating, fierce, and brimming with heart―just like its heroine, Salem Wiley."―Meg Gardiner, author of Into the Black Nowhere

Mercy's Chase is the second in an ongoing series of thrillers that Library Journal calls "a hair-raising thrill ride!"
