Old Broadbrim Up Against Grave Robbers

A fortune buried with the dead. A detective who never stops digging.

Josiah Broadbrim knows when something doesn't add up. When the Reverend Meredith arrives at his office with a tale of desecrated tombs, stolen documents, and a century-old inheritance dispute stretching across the Atlantic, the Quaker detective feels the familiar pull of a case that runs deeper than it appears.

Somewhere beneath a crumbling slab in Tavistock churchyard, three men have already found what they came for. Or think they have.

Broadbrim traces the thread back: a dead man named Harwell, a fortune locked in English chancery courts, and a conspiracy that someone was willing to commit grave robbery to protect. As he pieces together the movements of the tomb hunters—a cunning North Briton, a cowardly lawyer, and a clerk with cold nerves—Broadbrim realizes the danger hasn't ended with the opened grave.

It's only beginning.

Because the men who robbed Harwell's tomb are still out there. The documents they recovered could unlock millions. And whoever sent that anonymous warning years ago is still watching—still waiting.

Broadbrim moves through the shadows of Tavistock with quiet, relentless certainty. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he understands: the real crime isn't what was taken from that tomb.

It's what was hidden there in the first place.

Can Broadbrim expose the conspiracy before the stolen fortune disappears forever?
