"Red Witch of Mercury" by Robert Emmett McDowell is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Jaro Moynahan, a gunman with a reputation for dealing with death across the galaxies, who becomes embroiled in a tumultuous situation on Mercury—caught up in a brewing revolution while navigating the dangers posed by political intrigue and his complex interactions with characters like the sultry red-headed singer, Miss Mikail, and the ominous business magnate Albert Peet. The opening of the book introduces readers to a vibrant scene at Mercury Sam's Garden, where Jaro Moynahan is approached by the singer, who has a dangerous proposition involving the assassination of the revolutionary leader, Karfial Hodes. Tensions rise as mysterious events unfold, including the unexpected blackout and the sudden disappearance of the singer, which hint at deeper conspiracies at play. Jaro, portrayed as a seasoned but wary character, finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue involving Mercurian independence, camouflaged assassins, and hidden motivations, setting the stage for a gripping adventure filled with suspense and unpredicted twists.
