Small Mercies: A Bierce Novel

In this city, mercy is a luxury no one can afford. Bierce doesn't do favors. He doesn't make friends. And he definitely doesn't get involved in other people's problems—not anymore. But when an old debt comes calling in the form of a woman with scared eyes and a story that doesn't add up, he finds himself pulled back into the shadows he thought he'd left behind. Someone's been killing the small-time operators, the people who survive in the cracks of the city's underworld. Cops don't care about dead nobodies. But Bierce knows these streets, knows these people, and knows that someone's cleaning house for a reason. The first novel in the Bierce series is a hard-boiled descent into a city where the only justice is the kind you make yourself, and the only mercies are the small ones—a bullet that doesn't miss, a secret that stays buried, a debt finally paid.
