The Brady's and Dr. Ding

They thought she vanished forever. But the magician’s cabinet hides more than tricks...

When Charles Staveley returned from China, he brought back more than tea trade experience—he carried the heartbreak of Edith Long’s mysterious disappearance in the shadowy streets of Tientsin.

Three years later, her memory still haunts him—until a chilling stage act in New York rekindles the impossible: a veiled woman in Dr. Ding’s magic show bears an uncanny resemblance to his lost fiancée.

Now, the legendary Bradys—Old King Brady and his young partner—must peel back layers of deception, illusion, and hypnotic suggestion to uncover the truth. From the gaslit theaters of Manhattan to the labyrinthine alleys of San Francisco’s Chinatown, the detectives chase a cunning enemy cloaked in exotic ritual and stagecraft.

But as secrets unfold, and every clue leads deeper into danger, one question looms:
Is Edith still alive—or just another illusion in Dr. Ding’s deadly game?

Dive into a whirlwind of mystery, magic, and suspense in this thrilling entry of The Bradys series—where not even death can keep the past buried.
