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

by Patricia Loofbourrow Narrated by Machelle Williams

Overview

 From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Patricia Loofbourrow ...

"... a story that is almost irresistible." SciFi and Scary

Kidnapping. Murder. Betrayal.

1899 years after the Catastrophe, the steam-powered domed city of Bridges is controlled by the Mob.

For the past ten years, Jacqueline Spadros has spent her days in a gilded cage, her nights haunted by her best friend Air's murder. Air tried to stop her sale to the Spadros crime family, and he died for it.

In a city that hates her just because of where she was born, Jacqui has secretly become a private detective to earn enough money of her own to escape. But when Air's little brother goes missing, she has to decide: live with the nightmares and guilt, or defy her husband's sadistic father to save the boy?

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

Lovers of Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Phillip Marlowe, The Expanse, Seanan McGuire, or the Sherlock Holmes mysteries will enjoy this debut novel of the Red Dog Conspiracy series.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Strong world-building drives this tale of organized crime families, differentiated by the suits of a card deck: Spadros, Diamond, Hart, and Clubb. To slip out of the stringent social order, Jacqueline Spadros spends time with her dressmaker, supposedly having gowns created -- but in reality she slips into other disguises to move freely and solve crimes, such as the disappearance of a young boy named David Bryce. David's disappearance is connected to a much wider web of intrigue, reaching into Jacqueline's past. World-building, setting, and touches of steampunk help a sometimes convoluted plot and a few dangling story lines that might be developed in upcoming volumes of the series. An intriguing start and interesting premise." - BookLife Prize for Fiction
