The Bradys and the Bronze Idol

A god of bronze. A city of secrets. One detective who digs until the dead start talking.

A stolen god. A hidden fortune. A city built over its secrets.

Old King Brady has seen every con, every criminal, and every shadow San Francisco's notorious Chinatown can throw at a man. But when a mysterious Chinese doctor arrives with forged temple papers, a half-mad boy who speaks in a dead man's voice, and a trail leading to a bronze idol stuffed with a thousand years' worth of gems, even Brady admits he's never seen anything quite like this.

The case pulls him in fast. Too fast.

Jim Kelly, a red-haired, black-eyed half-breed who can't remember his own fits, holds the only key to the idol's hiding place — locked somewhere beneath the rubble of the great Chinatown fire of 1906\. When the boy is snatched from right under Harry and Alice's noses, Brady knows someone else already knows what he's only beginning to understand.

Now the Bradys face a Chinatown that rebuilt itself over its own buried sins — underground dens, secret Buddhist brotherhoods, a ghost club called the Eleven Lanterns, and a network of enemies who play for keeps.

Brady fights to stay one step ahead as the shadows multiply and the body count threatens to rise.

If he can't find the Dream God before his rivals do, a priceless treasure vanishes forever — and the people who helped him get there may not survive his failure.

Can the Bradys solve a riddle buried beneath an earthquake before it buries them?
