Acknowledgments
Many people have helped me with this book, and I’d like to thank them. I appreciate the beta reader input given by Andy Loofbourrow and Tasha Reese. I’d also like to thank Dennis McDonald for his support, advice, and example in self-publishing, Dr. Christophe Landry for his help with translation, Erin Hartshorn for her meticulous proofreading, and Anita Carroll for her gorgeous cover design.
I also appreciate my street team, The Commission, for helping get this book series into your hands!
This series would not be what it is today without the hours spent by my son (and awesome developmental editor) Corwin Loofbourrow. Thank you.

Coming October 2017
The one secret which could destroy everything ...
After financial disaster and the zeppelin bombing, the city of Bridges is reeling. Three of the four Families are implicated, and an inquest is called to investigate.
After her failure to prove Jack Diamond's guilt in David Bryce's kidnapping and the deaths of her friends, private eye and mobster's moll Jacqueline Spadros has had enough. While she and her former lover Joseph Kerr try to learn who killed their family friend Marja, they also begin making plans to leave the city.
But the secrets Jacqui has kept over the years are coming back to cause her serious trouble. Will she be able to escape Bridges? Or will she be forced to face the terrible consequences of her lies and trickery once and for all?
