About this listen

His daughter was taken. He’ll make them pay.

Set in the near future, Matt Deal—an ex-pat Brit married into a powerful Florida family—watches his life shatter after a nightmare unfolds. His fifteen-year-old daughter, Mercy, is left in a vegetative state following a brutal assault on a Destin beach. She was the only thing holding his fractured marriage together. Now, nothing will ever be the same.

At first, Deal trusts the police to bring the attackers to justice. But when it becomes clear the wealthy culprits might walk free, everything unravels—his gym business falters, his marriage collapses, and his ruthless father-in-law sends death threats, blaming him for the family's ruin.

With nowhere to turn, Deal is out of options—and out of patience. Should he return to post-Brexit Britain to escape the chaos, or embrace the storm and fight back?

One thing’s certain: Someone will pay.

For fans of Jack Reacher, Barry Eisler, and vigilante thriller movies like *Taken*, this pulse-pounding novel explores just how far one father will go when justice fails.

I enjoyed the narration of Chris Defazio

Matt Deal is seeking revenge for his daughter's rape and destruction. We open with a brutal assault upon Matt's teenage daughter that left her in a permanent vegetative state. The perpetrators are allowed to go free; Matt's ex- father-in-law conspire to make Matt change his life dramatically. It is suspenseful and fast paced, but that ending hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

An excellent revenge thriller. Set in the near future, when Matt's daughter is viciously attacked he swears vengeance. The story shifts between an England ravaged with strife and crime and Florida. There is a quite a graphic start to the book and violence throughout, the story is very well written with great strong characters and a gritty style. The narrator is fine and is easy to listen too but all the voices are American even when in England.
I Received a Complimentary copy from Storyorigin and am leaving a honest voluntary review

Excellent Revenge Thriller

Acttion, silly sex scene, action, silly sex scene, More silly sex senes. This was Like a revenge porn book written by a 17-year-old sex starved kid. Plot was somewhat ok. I simply couldn’t bear the writing style. But, like a train wreck, I couldn’t stop looking . I will not be buying the next one.

More like a teenagers dream

This is a wild ride of a novel, not for the squeamish or narrow minded. Matt Deal must battle through personal tragedy to seek revenge on the people who raped and left his daughter, Mercy, in a vegetative state and yet they avoided justice. The action jumps countries keeping the readers adrenaline pumping through to the final chapter. A hot thriller.

A Hot Action Packed Thriller.

I have never listened to anything by this author and I will say they write some good stuff. This one however is let down a bit in my opinion by the narration. It’s not as good as what I have come to expect by some some of the other books I have listened to. Having said that it’s a very good thriller all in all. Recommended listen.

Pretty good

What a great audiobook! I really like this genre and I found Mercy really enjoyable. Really well written and performed. I appreciated the reference to potential ramifications of certain real life political decisions. I will be starting on the next book in the series tomorrow and I very much look forward to it

Enjoyable Listen!
