Shades of Mercy

A Porter Beck Mystery

by Bruce Borgos

Bruce Borgos lives in the Nevada desert and it clearly shows in this thriller set in his home state. In this novel, there are a number of demands on Sheriff Porter Beck. He is in charge of a relatively small number of officers and he and they are tasked with covering a large territory.

Much happens over the course of this novel. A friend of Porter’s dies and another is attacked. In the following pages, there are hackers, drones and a young girl, Mercy, a clever hacker, who may be connected to some of what transpires. Matters are further complicated when she disappears. Don’t forget fentanyl, drones…and more.

Readers will enjoy getting to know the characters in this second title in a series. (I need to go back to the first one). They will also enjoy following the complicated action and plot. Luckily Burgos is in control in telling the story.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
