"... a story that is almost irresistible." SciFi and Scary
A private eye. Four crime families. A scoundrel wants to destroy them.
1899 years after the Catastrophe, Bridges is run by the Mob. As the city's steam-driven infrastructure fails, a new faction rises: the Red Dogs.
22 year old Jacqueline Spadros was kidnapped from her mother's brothel and sold to the Spadros syndicate ten years ago. The murder of her best friend Air that night as he tried to save her from them haunts her nightmares. Now trapped in an unwilling marriage to the city's biggest drug lord, 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 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, multi-layered Victorian-inspired detective noir that keeps the reader guessing to the very end.
