"Konrath's fourth drink-inspired mystery to feature Lt. Jacqueline Jack Daniels (after 2006's Rusty Nail) is a particularly potent mix of equal parts mirth and mayhem with a dash of sex and a twist (or two) of plot. His latest should be taken straight, no chaser needed." - Publishers Weekly

"Konrath ratchets up the suspense until readers don't dare stop flipping the pages. A solid success for those who like to mix comedy and grit."  - Booklist

"Mix witty repartee with edge-of-your-chair suspense, over-the-top killing devices, and action that never takes a breather, and you have Konrath's latest white-knuckle thriller. Not to be missed." - Library Journal

“It’s difficult as hell to balance wit with suspense and horrific violence with humor, but JA Konrath manages the feat deftly in his “Jacqueline ‘Jack’ Daniels” series of thrillers.

Jack is a smart, sexy cop with a rocky personal life and a career that pits her strength and skill against the worst kind of evil – and she not only triumphs but does so with humor and style.

Spend some time with Jack and the people in her life; I can promise you won’t regret it.” - Kay Hooper, author of Sleeping With Fear

"J.A. Konrath has done it again.He still keeps you guessing until the end as to who did it." - Kathy Cox, Barnes & Noble, Dayton OH

"I've been very drawn into the Lt. Jack Daniels character because after 23 years as a police officer I love her humor and her completely realistic approach to law enforcement. I'm now a Barnes and Noble bookseller and I often sit in the break room and laugh out loud at her remarks. This often causes odd looks from those other souls trying to read or eat in peace. I just tell them...You Gotta Read This!!!!" - Terry Robertson, Barnes and Noble in the Woodlands, Texas
