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

"Phew! This one had more than its share of bad guys (and girls), plus a lot of torture and carnage, to the point of not being believable. But I just love the characters and the way the author uses humor to counteract the horror. McGlade is a hoot. He deserves a series of his own, maybe with Mr. Friskers in a subplot."

    " formulaic and predictable. Switching narration became confusing. Weird, disgusting violence. Bizarre crime. Way too happy of an ending. Would've been better to have re-read first two since author assumes familiarity. "

    " I enjoyed "Rusty Nail" very much. at time I was on the edge of my seat and grimacing and cringing along with the characters. Although the villain was easy to spot it didn't take away from my reading experience. Definitely a good read. "

    " 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.
