The Daughter of Anderson Crow

In the quiet, Revolutionary‑war‑steeped town of Tinkletown, Anderson Crow stands like a living monument. For nearly three decades he has worn three hats—marshal, fire chief, and street commissioner—earning a reputation that reaches far beyond the town’s modest borders. His rugged presence and unwavering authority have kept the community’s streets safe, while his clever detective work has already earned headlines in distant city papers.

Now, with his recent induction into the prestigious New York Imperial Detective Association, a fresh wave of curiosity ripples through the town. As Crow adjusts to his new badge, whispers of a mysterious infant wrapped in blankets and a series of odd, unsettling events begin to surface. Those early hints promise a tangled investigation that will test the marshal’s seasoned instincts and draw the attention of everyone in Tinkletown, especially the one person who may hold the key to what follows.
