Brendan Holmes, Margaret Marple, and Auguste Poe operate New York City's most sought-after private investigation firm. The trio tackles cases that seem unsolvable: stolen priceless artwork, high-stakes kidnappings, and cold murders that have stumped police for decades. Their methods work, but they're far from conventional. Each breakthrough brings them closer to uncovering the city's corrupt power brokers and their underground criminal networks, including a horrific subterranean prison. Success comes with a price. The NYPD and FBI begin scrutinizing the agency's rapid rise and unorthodox techniques. Questions multiply about the detectives themselves. Their backgrounds resist investigation, their identities seem carefully constructed, and their skills appear almost supernatural. As external pressure mounts, the three partners must solve their most dangerous case yet: protecting the secrets of who they really are while continuing to deliver justice in a city that never stops generating mysteries.
