Young Broadbrim's Chance Shot

A fortune worth five million dollars. Two men claiming the same name. One woman hiding a secret she'll do anything to protect.

Harry Wilson—Young Broadbrim—knows this case isn't what it looks like.

When Old Broadbrim sends his clever young apprentice to handle a routine will investigation, Harry expects paperwork and lawyers. What he finds instead is a tangle of false identities, suspicious heiresses, and a rough sea-faring man who appears from nowhere demanding what he says is rightfully his. Three people claim the Boulder millions. Only two can be real. And Harry isn't convinced any of them are telling the truth.

As he races between the arriving steamship, the nervous law offices of Broadway, and the shadowy streets of Jersey City, Harry pieces together a puzzle no one else has thought to look at sideways. The polished Australian gentleman seems credible. The beautiful, dark-haired woman has all the right papers. But something in Mary Marston's voice on the telephone wire—that long, telling pause before she denied knowing the sailor—won't leave Harry alone.

The closer he looks, the deeper the deception runs.

If Harry reads it wrong, an imposter walks away with five million dollars and leaves the real heirs with nothing.

Can Young Broadbrim untangle the truth from the lies before tomorrow's ceremony makes the fraud permanent—and the Boulder millions disappear forever?
