A spirited young lady trapped in a Mafia-arranged marriage is living a double life.The once-beautiful domed neo-Victorian city of Bridges is split between four crime families in an uneasy cease-fire. Social disparity increasing and its steam-driven infrastructure failing, a new faction is on the rise: the Red Dogs.Jacqueline Spadros has a dream life: a wealthy husband, a powerful family. But her life is not what it seems. Kidnapped from her mother’s brothel and forced to marry, the murder of her best friend Air ten years before haunts her nightmares. She finds moments of freedom in a small-time private eye business, which she hides in fear of her sadistic father-in-law.Air’s little brother disappears off his back porch and the Red Dogs are framed for it. With the help of a mysterious gentleman investigator hired by the Red Dogs to learn the truth, Jacqui pushes her abilities to their limits in hope of rescuing the child before the kidnapper disposes of him.Dark, gritty, psychological, multi-layered Victorian-inspired far future detective noir that keeps the reader guessing to the very end.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.The Jacq of Spades is part 1 of a 13-part serial novel:The Jacq of Spades <- you are hereThe Queen of DiamondsThe Ace of ClubsThe King of HeartsThe Ten of SpadesThe Five of DiamondsThe Two of HeartsThe Three of SpadesThe Knave of HeartsThe Four of ClubsThe Jack of DiamondsThe Death Card (coming October 2026)Warning: with child abduction, a corrupt government, domestic violence, gore, suicide, and murder, The Jacq of Spades is not for the faint of heart.
