Old Broadbrim Destroying the Swamp Angels

A city that swallows its secrets whole. A killer who vanishes like smoke. One detective who refuses to let the dark win.

Old Broadbrim has seen the worst New York can offer—but nothing like this.

When a brutal murder shatters the filthy quiet of Gotham Court, the city's most feared Quaker detective steps into a labyrinth of blood and shadow. The victim is a solitary miser, his skull crushed, his strongbox ransacked, and the only clue a woman's desperate note clutched in a dead man's fist. A woman of education. A woman who promised to visit that very night.

Broadbrim knows this case runs deeper than a simple robbery gone wrong. Gotham Court is a fortress of vice, and the Swamp Angels—the city's most ruthless criminal gang—rule its rotting corridors with terror. The police have tried and failed to break them. Now Broadbrim goes in alone.

As the investigation twists through underground tunnels, desperate gang loyalties, and a mystery that reaches far beyond Cherry Street, Broadbrim fights not just to find a killer, but to destroy a network of evil that has terrorized New York for years.

The Swamp Angels believe no law can touch them.

They don't know Old Broadbrim.

Can the Quaker detective unravel the truth hidden in Gotham Court before the Angels bury it—and him—forever?
