They're after her. But she can't tell anyone.
1899 years after the Catastrophe, Bridges is run by the Four Families. Jacqueline Spadros was sold to the Spadros crime syndicate at twelve; ten years later, she's married to the Spadros heir. 
On the night of her sale, her best friend was murdered while trying to stop it all. When his little brother goes missing, Jacqui has a choice: try to find the boy - risking the wrath of her Family - or play it safe?
But she soon finds out this case is much bigger than she'd ever imagined.
Lovers of Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Bosch, The Expanse, Dune, or the Sherlock Holmes mysteries will enjoy this first chapter of the Red Dog Conspiracy.
Warning: with child abduction, a corrupt government, domestic violence, gore, suicide, and murder, The Jacq of Spades is not for the faint of heart.

Red Dog Conspiracy

The Jacq of Spades: Part 1 of the Red Dog Conspiracy

1899 years after the Catastrophe, Bridges is run by the Mob. As its steam-driven infrastructure fails, a new faction rises. Can she stop them?
The Red Dog Conspiracy follows the story of 22-year-old small-time private eye Jacqueline Spadros beginning from her first major case: the missing little brother of her best friend, whose murder ten years before in front of her still haunts her nightmares. The only clue? A Red Dog stamp across the alley from where the boy was last seen.
Dodging the man - seemingly mad - who has publicly threatened her life, placating her brutal, sadistic father-in-law, and dealing with her feelings about her ex-lover, while being married to one of the city's biggest drug lords: Jacqui is a busy woman. Her life is about to get much busier.
From the very first page, Jacqui is dragged into a web of lies, secrets, and betrayals which both endangers her life and the lives of those she loves.
Dark, gritty, violent steampunk crime fiction which keeps you guessing to the very end. If you like crime fiction, noir, Victorian/historical, gritty steampunk, psychological thrillers, hardboiled mystery, hard sf, dystopian, or slow burn mafia romance, you will love this set.
This digital box set comprises Act 1 of a 13 part serial novel. Included in this set:
 The Jacq of Spades: Part 1 of the Red Dog Conspiracy
 The Queen of Diamonds: Part 2 of the Red Dog Conspiracy
 The Ace of Clubs: Part 3 of the Red Dog Conspiracy
If made into movies, this set would be rated R for bad language, graphic violence, smoking and alcohol use, child kidnapping, teenagers murdered (a serial killer is on the loose), and sexual content (Jacqui is married, after all).
