Terry Roberts is the celebrated author of A Short Time to Stay Here, That Bright Land, The Holy Ghost Speakeasy and Revival, My Mistress’ Eyes are Raven Black, The Sky Club, The Devil Hath a Pleasing Shape, and In the Fullness of Time. Roberts is a lifelong teacher and educational reformer as well as an award-winning novelist. He is a native of the mountains of Western North Carolina whose ancestors include six generations of mountain farmers, as well as the bootleggers and preachers who appear in his novels. He was raised close by his grandmother, Belva Anderson Roberts, who was born in 1888 and passed to him the magic of the past along with the grit and humor of mountain storytelling.

"I loved this book. Once again, Terry Roberts has captured a pocket of 20th-century American history that most readers have forgotten: in this case, 1924 America, a time of post-war trauma, transition, and realigning loyalties. I tore right through The Quality of Mercy, a nail-biting mystery that’s also a story of love and forgiveness and an exploration of the ways we recover from the past—or don’t. Roberts is a master of literary thrillers, and the character of Stephen Robbins is an old friend I love to revisit." —Julia Franks, author of Over the Plain Houses and The Say So"A riveting new installment in the smart and entertaining Stephen Robbins series, The Quality of Mercy is destined to become a classic... Expertly plotted, the story is deliciously atmospheric with a palpable sense of mounting danger that kept me turning the pages. A superb combination of relatable emotional journey and exciting mystery." —Heather Bell Adams, author of Maranatha Road"Tune in. This Shakespearean tale is well worth your time." —Wayne Caldwell, author of Cataloochee and Shadow Family"The Quality of Mercy blends suspense and a deep sense of place; I found myself turning pages ever more quickly. Terry Roberts' characters read like beloved old friends well before the last chapter, and in Stephen Robbins he has once again exploded Appalachian stereotypes, replacing them with complexity, grace, and self-awareness." —Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Historian and Mystery Play“One special feature of The Quality of Mercy is the way the novel incorporates and illuminates history, the shadows and secrets, echoes and mysteries, of the past, unfolding like themes and variations, as buried conflicts and betrayals are resurrected in the present, and bonds of loyalty and love are threatened, tested, and, through forgiveness, proven true.” —Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek and The Truest Pleasure
