WHAT ARE THE MERCER FILES?
The Mercer Files follows Frank Mercer, a private investigator in a city built on secrets. He takes the cases others won’t touch, where the law looks away, the powerful bury the truth, and every answer comes with a price.
Each case file stands on its own, but the deeper you go, the more the city’s shadows begin to connect. Betrayal. Revenge. Murder. Power. Some doors should stay closed.
Frank has a habit of opening them anyway.
