A Lou Mercante Crime Series Thriller
Some people solve crimes.
Others unknowingly become part of one.
Mario Vescari has spent his life running a successful freight business on the New Orleans waterfront. He knows shipping, inventory, and the rhythm of cargo moving through one of America's busiest ports. When a series of small discrepancies begin appearing in shipments passing through his yard, he does what any careful businessman would do. He starts keeping notes.
What begins as simple curiosity soon uncovers a pattern that reaches far beyond accounting mistakes or misplaced cargo. Hidden among ordinary shipments is a criminal enterprise built on deception, corruption, and murder. Before Mario can expose what he has found, he is silenced.
Most investigators see an apparent robbery gone wrong and quickly move on.
Lou Mercante doesn't.
Boxes is a character-driven crime thriller that blends police investigation, organized crime, and the rich backdrop of New Orleans into a story about loyalty, perseverance, and one man's determination to finish the work another man died trying to complete. For Detective Lou Mercante, every case begins with a single thread. The challenge is knowing how far to pull before the entire fabric begins to unravel.Also from
