The Lost Claim is out today, September 29!
Thank you for joining me as The Mercer Files continues. This time, we’re heading to the Australian Outback with Noah Mercer and Lori Callahan.
Lori has discovered a forgery in the mining records, one that reaches into her own family’s past. Noah arrives with a receipt linking that ground to the loss his family has spent years carrying.
They have a reason to work together. Someone else has a very good reason to make sure they fail.
Welcome to the second Mercer case
This is clean action-adventure suspense with an investigation at its center. Noah and Lori must follow a disputed claim through records, remote ground, and obstacles that become increasingly dangerous.
The people protecting the fraud have more than one way to interfere. A court order can block access. Evidence can disappear. And once the threats turn physical, knowing what needs to be proved is only part of the challenge.
Alongside the investigation is the question of how two people with different skills learn to rely on one another. Lori brings her understanding of the records. Noah brings practical experience with mining sites. Each has something at stake that the other cannot simply solve for them.
