JA Konrath, known for the Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thrillers set in
Chicago, offers this collection of short stories and novellas from the
Jack Daniels universe.
Join Jack Daniels, her partner Herb
Benedict, private eye Harry McGlade, and part-time criminal Phineas
Troutt, in this omnibus of 15 stories.
These were previous published in magazines and anthologies, and many are long out of print.
On the Rocks - Suicide or murder? Lt. Jack Daniels solves a locked room mystery.
Whelp Wanted - P.I. Harry McGlade becomes a dognapper in order to stop a dognapper, or something like that.
Street Music - Phineas Troutt hunts a prostitute through the dangerous streets of Chicago. Are his intentions pure?
The One That Got Away - The Gingerbread Man (the villain from WHISKEY SOUR) hunts one final victim.
With
a Twist - It looked like the man fell from a great height, but the body
is in his living room. Jack Daniels solves another impossible crime.
Epitaph - Phin Troutt takes on a Chicago street gang with vengeance on his mind.
Taken to the Cleaners - Harry McGlade tries to solve a difficult mystery, but mostly just goofs off.
Body
Shots - Jack Daniels faces her most challenging case yet; a school
shooting. But does she know more about the perp than she realizes?
Suffer - Phineas Troutt has taken some questionable jobs, but will he murder a man's wife?
School Daze - P.I. Harry McGlade investigates a private school, but he's not entirely sure why.
Overproof
- While shopping on the Gold Coast, Jack Daniels notices traffic has
come to a stand-still. When she realizes what the problem is, she's
confronted with her own mortality, and the possible deaths of hundreds.
Bereavement - How badly does Phineas Troutt need a fix? What is he willing to do?
Pot Shot - Detective Herb Benedict just wants a home cooked meal. But his plans get interrupted by a very determined sniper.
Last Request - Phineas Troutt picks up a hitchhiker, with deadly results.
The
Necro File - Harry McGlade investigates some bizarre murders in this
hilarious, gore-filled mini-epic. (Author's note: This is easily the
funniest thing I've ever written, but it's also very offensive. Let the
reader beware...)
That's about 65,000 words of Jack Daniels and
friends. Also included in this collection are excerpts from some of
Jack's other adventures, including:
An excerpt from Truck Stop by J.A. Konrath and Jack Kilborn, where Jack finds herself dueling with two serial killers at once.
An
excerpt from Floaters by J.A. Konrath and Henry Perez, where Jack joins
forces with Chicago reporter Alex Chapa to solve a bizarre
disappearance.
An excerpt from Planter's Punch by J.A. Konrath and Tom Schreck, where
Jack travels to NY and befriends professional boxer Duffy Dombrowski to
break an extortion ring.
And excerpt from Suckers by J.A. Konrath
and Jeff Strand, where Harry McGlade reluctantly teams up with Andrew
Mayhem. Hilarity ensues.
