Old Broadbrim in and Out of the Toils

A legendary detective. A gang that has never been caught. One winter in the Orange Mountains that will push both to the breaking point.

Old Broadbrim has walked into traps before—but never one this carefully laid. When wealthy landowner Richard Catherington begs the great Quaker detective to track down Red McMahon, the most dangerous criminal in America, Broadbrim accepts without hesitation. McMahon is a forger, a highwayman, a killer who leaves threats carved into the flesh of every case he touches—and a man who has already outrun every detective sent after him.

But this time, McMahon is ready.

Before Broadbrim and his partner Dolan even reach the Orange Mountains, they are already being watched. Followed from New York City, tracked through blizzard-swept back roads, and warned away by mysterious strangers emerging from the snowdrifts, Broadbrim understands the truth immediately: the hunter has become the hunted.

As dead bodies surface in frozen woodland clearings and the net draws tighter around everyone Broadbrim has sworn to protect, he fights not just McMahon's gang—but the creeping certainty that this time, the criminal mastermind is one step ahead.

Catherington's family is at risk. Dolan's life hangs in the balance. And the woods are full of men with guns who know exactly who Broadbrim is.

Can the great Quaker detective corner Red McMahon before the gang closes the final trap—and buries him in the snow?
