When a murdered Chinese juggler bears the secret mark of an ancient order, the Brady detectives must unravel a web of opium, illusion, and deadly vengeance—before they become the next victims to vanish without a trace.
A murdered juggler. A vanishing act with no return. And Chinatown’s darkest secrets waiting to explode...

When a Chinese juggler is found dead in a tenement on Pell Street—branded with the mark of a secret order—the legendary detective duo Old and Young King Brady are drawn into their most twisted case yet.

Was it gang revenge from Chinatown’s brutal tong wars? Or something stranger—something tied to opium, sorcery, and secrets meant to stay buried?

As the Bradys dig deeper, they uncover a tangle of disguises, deceit, and dual identities. A grieving Chinese mother claims the victim was her long-lost son—an acrobat apprenticed to a master of illusions. But even she cannot say if the man killed was truly him… or an impostor.

Now the Bradys must navigate a world of deadly rituals, hypnotic performances, and high-society coverups, where every ally might be a killer—and every clue could be a trap.

Will they solve the case before another corpse appears? Or will they vanish like the juggler—into thin air?

THE BRADYS AND THE CHINESE JUGGLER is a pulse-pounding tale of murder, magic, and madness in turn-of-the-century New York.

A PECULIAR ADVENTURE IN CHINATOWN.

Old King Brady, the world-famous detective, and his partner and former pupil, Young King Brady, at one time had an adventure in New York’s Chinatown, which we propose to describe.
