Eight of Jacks

The debut novel of both Lieutenant Dominica Vasquez, of DCPJ, and Rayna Salinger, a brilliant computer hacker with no memory of her past.

A famous 16th century murder sparks an ingenious race to stop a madman before he kills again.

PARIS--An obscure message written in blood adorns the body of Jack's Eighth--a prostitute found floating in the Seine.

Europol's top expert is adamant: This isn't going to stop. Jack wants to play a little game with Vasquez. An outcast within DCPJ, she decides to enlist the help of César Prada--a small-time criminal informant--whose unlikely expertise on the works of William Shakespeare guides them through a labyrinthine maze of snitches, drug dealers, and prostitutes... international espionage, and, above all, Human Trafficking--on a collision course with a mysterious organization known only as...

THE SCHOOL OF NIGHT.

There are figures haunting Salinger's dreams, mysterious assassins who reside within the doorways of her mind. Growing is the knowledge that she may be one of them: Acheron. A genius-level IT expert with ungodly skills.

Eight of Jacks is a thriller about women. Specifically two women, who don't take jack from anyone.
