What is Mercy about?
"...a beautiful woman too young to be widowed waits for her husband to come home from prison. Arthur Baladino is getting out courtesy of a compassionate leave program, the theory being that he's too feeble to shoot anybody else. Next door to the Baladino home, a little boy in a baseball uniform asks his father, "What happens when you die?" It's a question the father will soon confront in a terrible and surprising way. Just down the street, a young woman is trying to figure out how to re-start her life after her husband has lost his money, hers, and their home by day-trading in their basement. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, several women and a couple of men--two of them accomplished arsonists who've sometimes been employed by Arthur Baladino--dream of what might have been if they'd been wiser, more patient, or luckier in a past long dead everywhere but in their imaginations."
