A boy vanishes. But not just any boy.

1899 years after the Catastrophe, Bridges is owned by the Mob. As the city's steam-driven infrastructure fails, a new faction rises: the Red Dogs.

Jacqueline Spadros is haunted by her best friend Air's death, killed as he tried to stop her sale to the Spadros crime syndicate ten years ago. Now in an unwilling marriage to the city's biggest drug lord, she secretly runs a small-time private eye business to earn enough money to escape.

Air's little brother disappears from his back porch. And now someone is following Jacqui.

Dark, gritty, psychological, multi-layered Victorian-inspired far future detective noir that keeps the reader guessing to the very end.

Warning: with child abduction, a corrupt government, domestic violence, suicide, and murder, The Jacq of Spades is not for the faint of heart.

The Jacq of Spades is part 1 of a 13-part serial novel:

She wanted an easy case ... she got a disaster.

Private eye Jacqueline Spadros, recovering from her harrowing experiences the week prior, wants nothing more than a simple, straightforward case - preferably one the Spadros Family won't find out about. Aristocratic jewel merchant Dame Anastasia Louis, aka \"The Queen of Diamonds,\" seems to be offering the perfect arrangement.

But Jacqui can't leave the madman \"Black Jack\" Diamond's crimes unpunished. And the more she learns, the more she begins to believe that this particular job wasn't such a good idea after all ....

Warning: graphic descriptions of blood and gore, foul language, smoking, alcohol abuse ... about the same as the first book.

The Queen of Diamonds is chapter 2 of a 13-part serial novel:

A young man sold into servitude has his loyalties tested in ways he never imagined.

Raised in an orphanage in Dickens, Daniel doesn't know who his parents were, where he comes from, or even his last name. Like all orphans, on his 16th birthday, he's sold to the highest bidder.

Not knowing where he's going, who's bought him, or what they even want with him, Daniel embarks on an adventure he never thought he'd take. He finds love, a family, and a secure future - yet in a split second, makes a decision he ends up regretting the rest of his life.

Brothers begins fifteen years before the Red Dog Conspiracy series.
