The Newspaper Chronicles Trilogy

Three Jamie Stroud Mysteries
By Tim Battersby

Book One: The Chicago Affair

Investigative journalist Jamie Stroud’s life in Chicago is turned upside down when she stumbles into a deadly conspiracy linking politics, organized crime, and a string of unsolved murders. Alongside her quick-witted partner Lucy D’Tremont and the aristocratic but unflappable Sir Christopher Fenton, Jamie begins pulling at threads that powerful men would rather leave buried. From newsroom battles to shadowy backroom deals, The Chicago Affair launches the trilogy with a story that mixes grit, wit, and heart in equal measure.

Book Two: The Bloodhound Affair

The trio’s work in Chicago brings them face-to-face with betrayal, corruption, and danger on every side. Joined by Poirot, their loyal and uncannily perceptive bloodhound, the team unravels a web of mob ties and murders, culminating in a harrowing confrontation with a criminal empire bent on silencing them. Balancing heart-stopping suspense with moments of warmth, The Bloodhound Affair cements the group’s bond while raising the stakes—because this time, it’s not just a story they’re chasing, it’s survival.

Book Three: The English Affair

Exiled from her newsroom job, Jamie follows Lucy and Sir Christopher across the Atlantic for what she hopes is a fresh start. Instead, they are thrust into a transatlantic mystery stretching from London’s glittering galleries to the quiet corridors of country estates. When stolen art, aristocratic secrets, and racially motivated bombings collide, the team must navigate both English high society and its darkest undercurrents. With Poirot at their side, the trio faces their most personal—and dangerous—case yet, one that will decide not only their reputations but their futures.

 The Newspaper Chronicles Trilogy blends classic noir with international intrigue, following Jamie Stroud and her companions as they take on corruption, crime, and conspiracy from Chicago’s backstreets to London’s drawing rooms.
