At Law's Mercy

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Daniel Mercer believes precision can contain damage. When a widow’s eviction turns on records held inside the private archive of his dead mentor, Mercer asks its custodian, his former associate Elena Cross, for one narrow release. She refuses. Mercer files anyway. The demand is lawful, limited, and impossible to take back. Once the Sterling Archive is named in open court, a private record becomes compellable, a records clerk is blamed for a breach she did not cause, and people connected to a twelve-year-old fire are forced to decide what the truth is worth and who should pay for it. Across five linked episodes, Mercer must confront the flaw in the rule that has governed his career: precision can limit what the law asks for. It cannot contain the cost. A restrained contemporary legal noir about custody, consent, and the consequences that survive a lawful act. Duration - 5h 14m. Author - Virgil Brooks.
