This week on Crime Wave: Mercury Carter—the mailman who never misses a delivery—returns!!!!!!! Can you tell how excited I am to score this chance to chat with Andrew Welsh-Huggins about THE DELIVERY? Mercury's latest delivery is interrupted when he comes across a woman badly injured in a car wreck. A man with a gun warns him away from the scene, but Merc disarms the attacker and rescues the crash victim. Ah, but that's just the page-turning intro to a deeper mystery stemming from the crash. . . which leads Merc into a strange new delivery complicated by a memorable pair of grifters, a crooked ex-cop, stolen identities, human trafficking, and murder.
