Old Broadbrim Leagued With Nick Carter

A killer. A stolen fortune. A dead woman with a pin through her brain.

Old Broadbrim has seen a lot of things in his long career as a detective. But when a beautiful woman turns up dead on a Long Island golf course—her murder disguised as heart failure—he recognizes what no one else will admit. Someone very clever wanted this death to look like nothing at all.

Hired to investigate petty robberies at a private club, Broadbrim finds himself descending into something far darker. The dead woman's husband is hiding secrets. Her brother-in-law is hiding more. And at the heart of it all sits the Laurelton Copper Works, where stolen gold flows through the night and a notorious woman criminal pulls strings no one can see.

Broadbrim goes in disguised, goes in alone, and nearly doesn't come back out.

Now he fights on two fronts—against a gang of ruthless thieves who will kill without hesitation, and alongside the legendary Nick Carter, the one man whose cunning rivals his own. Together they chase a conspiracy that reaches from the smoking smelters of Brooklyn to the highest rooms of polite society.

But the deeper Broadbrim digs, the more certain he becomes that the woman in that gold house is always one step ahead.

Can the old Quaker unravel a murder, expose a conspiracy, and survive long enough to see justice done—before the killer vanishes for good?
