In the Worst Way

Playing dead isn't enough to keep Mercy Watts alive. 



Since killing a man in New Orleans, Mercy's kept her head down. With diet, exercise, and work, she thinks she can keep wolves and memories at bay. She's wrong. The Costilla gang wants revenge and Mercy will pay with her life if they can get to her. 

To keep Mercy out of harm's way, her father, Tommy Watts, sends her to an isolated castle with an ominous past and owned by a pair of innkeepers with no past at all. Tommy's solution is simple. He'll take care of the Costillas while Mercy's tucked away out of sight in the countryside. It should've been a few idyllic days, but the trip is a bachelorette party with her cousins. Those women have issues, a lot of duct tape, and little affection for their famous cousin. 

Making matters worse, the castle is hosting an elite baseball camp where the competition is fierce and the players aren't what they seem. When a guest turns up dead, it's just the beginning for Mercy. The local police aren't up to the task and she's called to pinch hit. Soon there's a second death and a malevolent mortician with an unusual attraction to Mercy gives the situation a chilling new element. Will she be able to get the job done before she ends up on a slab?
