What do you do when playing by the rules means a child may die? Bridges is owned by the Four Families. Constable Paix Hanger has advanced as high as he can.

A boy who's a reminder of the son he might never have disappears. When one boy after another are found dead and the incompetent and corrupt detectives assigned to the case are unable to act, Constable Hanger takes matters into his own hands. Drawing Thin takes place at the same time as The Jacq of Spades: Part 1 of the Red Dog Conspiracy. It can be read at any time.
