Michael Ayoob
will present
 Michael Ayoob is the winner of the Private Eye Writers of America Best First Private Eye Novel Competition (now that's a mouthful!) for this book. We are pleased he's stopping by to see us after Bouchercon in San Francisco. In Search of Mercy stars Dexter Bolzjak, an ex-hockey goalie who was beaten by some sports fans years ago and now works in a warehouse. On the side, he accepts a mission to find a woman named Mercy, the lost love of a terminally ill man. The longer he works on the case, the more ugliness he finds and the more his own past trama surfaces.* * * * * * * * * | Our bestsellers
