WHAT STARTS AT 30,000 FEET DOESN’T END THERE.
Mid-flight from Los Angeles to D.C., Jack Mercer wakes with a jolt—and the uneasy sense that something is wrong.
The crew’s smiles are strained. Their glances too careful. Around him, small details begin to shift, each one harder to ignore.
As tension builds and suspicion spreads, Mercer is forced to trust his instincts in a situation spiraling beyond his control—one that will pull him far beyond the aircraft and into the dark heart of rural North Carolina, where power, politics, and murder collide.
Deadly Ground is the second installment in the Jack Mercer series—a gripping thriller about the human cost of corporate greed and those willing to kill to protect it.
