Old Broadbrim, the Quaker Detective

A Quaker hat. A quiet manner. And the sharpest mind in New York.

Josiah Broadbrim doesn't frighten easily. The old detective has walked into a hundred dark houses, faced a hundred desperate men, and walked out ahead of every one of them. He knows when he's being hunted. He knows when the shadows are wrong.

But the case drawing him into an abandoned New York manor is unlike anything he's encountered before. A missing woman. A secret room. A conspiracy so deep that two hardened criminals would rather see him dead than let him speak a single word of what he's found.

When a trap sends him plunging into a pit and a crushing blow from Wrestling Jack drops him to the floor, his enemies finally believe they have him. They talk freely. They make their plans. They think Old Broadbrim is finished.

They are wrong.

Rising from what his enemies mistake for a grave, Broadbrim pieces together a chain of evidence that reaches further than even he imagined—into madhouses, into murder, into a secret that powerful men have buried beneath years of lies and silence.

Now every crook in New York wants him gone. And this time, they may have the numbers to do it.

Can one relentless old detective unravel the mad-house mystery before the men who fear him most find a way to make sure he never speaks again?
