A detective who never forgets a face. A missing heiress worth a fortune. A city full of shadows that don't want to be found.

Young Broadbrim knows the waterfront hides its secrets below the waterline.

When a young noblewoman vanishes from London and resurfaces—a prisoner—aboard a ship in Baltimore Harbor, Harry Wilson smells something rotten beneath the city's elegant surface. He's tracked criminals across two continents. He's walked into worse trouble than a gang of masked thieves lurking in the rigging of a midnight bark.

Or so he tells himself.

But the Wharf Runners are unlike anything Harry has faced before. They move like shadows. They disappear through walls. And at their center stands a woman of devastating beauty and devastating cunning—Celeste Cluvier, who knows how to make men vanish just as completely as she makes money appear.

As Harry digs deeper into the secret passages beneath the harbor piers, he discovers the missing heiress is only the surface of something far larger. An inheritance worth millions. A conspiracy stretching from Baltimore's most palatial mansions to the darkest cellars beneath the docks.

Every step forward could be his last.

Every friend could be the enemy.

And Celeste Cluvier is already suspicious.

Can Harry unmask the Wharf Runners and bring Lady Isabel home before the million-dollar trail goes cold—and he becomes the next person to disappear?
