On The Bridge At Midnight
by Bruce Brandon

Noble Horatio Wainwright marries beautiful Queenie De Lorme and brings her home to his aristocratic mother.

But Queenie has a past shrouded in secrecy.

Her father was imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit.

He escaped and wandered all over the earth.

Queenie knows if this gets out, Mrs. Wainwright will send her packing and Horatio will turn away from her.

Suddenly, Mervyn Perkins, wolf in sheep’s clothing, appears.

He knows Queenie’s secret and threatens to tell all – unless she procures papers on Horatio’s invention.

It’s all here: stolen papers, mortgaged homestead, and handsome hero thwarting the villain.
