The Braddock Pattern — A Philippe Isnard Mystery

The Braddock Pattern — A Philippe Isnard Mystery
By Eric Cox

Pittsburgh sleeps under steel shadows — but some shadows don’t stay still.

When private investigator Philippe Isnard uncovers a hidden renovation ledger tied to abandoned riverfront sites, he expects corruption, not a pattern of disappearances stretching from the South Side to Braddock. Each address leads him deeper into a tangle of forgotten foundations, coded markings, and a force that seems to move just beyond human sight.

As the clues tighten, Philippe finds himself standing at the intersection of Pittsburgh’s industrial ghosts and something older — something watching. From the fog along the Monongahela to the glowing steel arches of the Homestead Grays Bridge, a dangerous figure emerges: part myth, part nightmare, and entirely connected to the city’s rebirth.

To survive, Philippe must draw on secrets he hoped to bury — the ones that make him more than a detective, and not quite human.

A gritty supernatural noir set against the bridges, mills, and hauntings of modern Pittsburgh, The Braddock Pattern launches the Philippe Isnard Mystery series with a blend of suspense, magic, and steel-city atmosphere.
