Publisher Description
Lt. Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels of the Chicago Police Department is back, and once again she’s up to her Armani in murder. Someone is sending Jack snuff videos. The victims are people she knows, and they share a common trait—all were involved in one of Jack’s previous cases. With her stalwart partner, Herb, hospitalized and unable to help, Jack follows a trail of death throughout the Midwest, on a collision course with the smartest and deadliest adversary she has ever known.
During the chase, Jack jeopardizes her career, her love life, and her closest friends. She also comes to a startling realization—serial killers have families, and blood runs thick.
Rusty Nail features more of the laugh-out-loud humor and crazy characters that saturated Whiskey Sour and Bloody Mary, without sacrificing the nail-biting thrills. This is Lt. Jack Daniels’ third, and most exciting, adventure yet.
“Konrath creates the perfect blend of pulse-pounding thrills, side-splitting humor.”— David Ellis,author of In the Company of Liars
“Jack Daniels is a detective for the new millennium: sharply witty, deftly wry, and unabashedly cleve." —James Rollins, author of Black Order

"At last, a book that is fun to read, interesting characters that you care about, interesting plot developments and a book that is hard to put down. It is simply fun to read----no prizes for this book or for the series, just entertaining reading. At times, a little bloody and gruesome but fun. "
— Randy (4 out of 5 stars)

" A quick two day read... As always creepy bad guys and a few black humor chuckles along the way... As always the chapters in the killer's voice are balanced by the crazy chaos that Lt Jack Daniels always finds herself in! "

" too much detail with the killing part. Too graphic for my taste. Rest of the book was good. "
— Kim, 1/15/2014 -
" Well done. Be warned, though; lot of torture and killing. Within its own confines the plot held up well. One odd note: two of the series characters seemed to think a colonoscopy is only for men. Not true. "
— Derk, 1/14/2014 -
" The third installment in the Jack Daniels series was a little graphic for my taste. However, I still enjoyed it and it definitely held some moments which made the book worthwhile. A must read for a fan of the series or someone looking for an excellent mystery/thriller novel. "
— Heather, 1/6/2014 -
" Pretty gory and somewhat predictable. However, the protagonist was fun and apparently the villain pops up again in later books in the series. "
— Gail, 12/29/2013 -
" I think I'll need to go back and read the first two in this series--I thought it would be fluffier, but it was a pretty meaty mystery , but a lot of death. "

— Norma, 6/10/2011 -
" Just an okay story. Very quick and easy read. None of the characters were too annoying, but there wasn't really any strong development either. And it was rather easy to predict the who did it. "

" Blood, guts and belly laughs! This is the most real woman I've read and to think it's written by a dude. Go figure! All the secondary characters are all so well written. "
— Vfields, 3/5/2011 -
" Ah, my favorite genre. Cheesy fun serial-killer books. Gloriously cheesy, laugh out loud funny and totally over the top grossness. These may be my new Sookie replacement, except there is no hot Vampire Eric character. "
