Justice Payne built a town on an island in a river. He owns all the land and buildings as well as many of the businesses that occupy the buildings, and collects rent and taxes from the others. As self-appointed judge, mayor, tax assessor, and holder of every other office of note, Justice controls all aspects of life in his town.

Most accept the situation, if grudgingly. All, that is, except for Mercy O’Malley, owner and madam of a profitable brothel on the island. Justice and Mercy are often at odds. He suspects her of short-changing him financially and she resents his autocratic highhanded manner. Mercy foments a strike and a revolt, demanding elections.

Will Justice prevail? Will Mercy?

Follow the rollicking conflict through the pages of Justice and Mercy.
