The Bradys in High Life

A thief who strikes in ballrooms. A criminal who vanishes like smoke. Two detectives who've never failed—until now.

Old King Brady has seen every kind of crook New York can produce. But the phantom preying on the city's finest drawing rooms is something new. Jewels disappear from locked boxes at the opera. Diamonds vanish from guarded mansions on Fifth Avenue. Every detective in the city works the case—and every one comes up empty.

Brady doesn't believe in ghosts. He believes in method.

Disguised as Russian noblemen and armed with the endorsement of society's most powerful hostess, Old King Brady and his young partner Harry plunge into a world of glittering dinner parties, velvet opera boxes, and smiling faces hiding cold treachery. The thief is here, somewhere, moving through champagne and candlelight while honest men grasp at shadows.

Every lead dissolves. Every suspect slips away. An Italian count with fawning manners and a convenient headache. A mysterious calling card at midnight. A bellboy who vanishes. Someone in this world of silk and diamonds knows exactly who the Bradys are—and isn't afraid to let them know it.

As the robberies grow bolder and the stakes climb higher, Brady faces the uncomfortable truth that the most dangerous criminals don't wear masks.

They wear evening dress.

Can the Bradys unmask a thief who hides in plain sight before high society's greatest mystery becomes something far darker?
