Bulldog Drummond and the Empire City Enigma

A missing British agent. A coded message. And a conspiracy stretching far beyond Manhattan.

Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond arrives in New York expecting trouble.

He finds it almost immediately.

A British intelligence attaché named Hayworth has vanished without a trace, leaving behind a mysterious numerical cipher signed with a single name:

The Sparrow.

With Algy Longworth and old ally Toby Sinclair at his side, Drummond begins hunting through Manhattan's smoky clubs, backstreets and criminal underworld. Reporter Clara Vance, the last person known to have seen Hayworth alive, possesses another copy of the same coded message and knows enough to understand that powerful people are desperate to keep its meaning secret.

The trail soon leads to gangsters, German operatives, hidden warehouses and a mysterious figure known only as the Sparrow. But the Sparrow is merely the beginning.

Behind him stands a far more dangerous organisation: the Brotherhood, a secret international network manipulating weapons, governments and covert operations from the shadows.

What begins as a New York investigation rapidly becomes a worldwide pursuit. Drummond is drawn through hidden facilities, underground vaults, remote landscapes and international flashpoints as the Brotherhood's plans grow increasingly dangerous. Even biological agents and experimental weapons become pieces in a global struggle for control.

From Manhattan to the Panama Canal and beyond, Drummond and his allies must expose the Brotherhood before its network becomes too powerful to stop. Betrayal comes from unexpected quarters, alliances shift without warning, and every new discovery reveals another layer of the conspiracy.

But for Bulldog Drummond, walking away has never been an option.

One missing agent. One elusive Sparrow. One conspiracy with the world in its sights.

Bulldog Drummond and the Empire City Enigma by Martin Swan is a sweeping historical espionage adventure packed with secret codes, gangsters, international intrigue, hidden societies, dangerous weapons and relentless action.
