Chapter 44 is in the queue.
The Mercer family is struck by tragedy and must deal with it as best they can. James struggles on his own and has to adapt to the sudden changes in his life.

Unfortunately, the story comes to an end—at least this part of it. But soon, another chapter in the James Mercer saga will be available to read. This one is entitled "The Sand Box." Wonder where this will lead James and his associates next?

I want to thank Pepere for editing this story. Without his work, it wouldn’t have turned out nearly as well as it has.

The next chapter is in the queue. Mercer and Associates work hard to get back into the swing of things in D.C., but several obstacles hinder their return to a normal routine.

As a bonus, Chapter 42 is being released early and is currently in the posting queue. James and his associates have released potentially damaging and embarrassing information about some of those in power in Washington. In order to protect his family and friends, James and his team have gone underground to avoid detection. Those under suspicion are desperate to find James and have resorted to extraordinary measures—including involving the FBI—to track him and his people down. Thus begins a cat-and-mouse game between James and the Feds, his former allies. Who will win?

Concerned for the safety of his family and coworkers, James quickly shuts down the office and urges everyone to “get out of Dodge” for now. He and his family also leave D.C. in a hurry, heading to a place they believe is safe. The Mercer Group’s discovery reveals widespread corruption and criminal activity—but uncovering the truth may have put them all at risk.

Chapter 40 is in the queue, ready to be posted. James and the people of Mercer, Frisch & Associates spring into action when the traitor Mike is discovered. They plan and execute a recovery operation worthy of special forces—fitting, since several associates are former operatives. This chapter is full of twists and turns. The people in power are about to have their secrets exposed to public scrutiny.
