Publisher Description

Chicago cop Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels has chased and caught dozens of dangerous criminals over the course of her career. But she’s about to meet her match. When Jack wakes up in a storage locker, bound and gagged, she knows with chilling certainty who her abductor is. He’s called “Mr. K,” and more than two hundred homicides have been attributed to him. His victims have died in the most horrible ways imaginable: he is the essence of evil. Some think he’s just an urban legend, but he’s very, very real. Jack has tangled with him twice in the past, and both times he managed to slip away. Now Jack will finally have the chance to confront the maniac she’s been hunting for over twenty-five years. Unfortunately, it won’t be on her terms. In less than two hours, Mr. K is going to do to Jack what he’s done to countless others. And Jack is going to learn that sometimes the good guys don’t win...

"Be c it's the second to last book? Because the story timeline is broken up? Because the others deserved four rather than three stars? Could be all or none. Thing is, I care about these folks. Whoda thunk these characters would come together the way they have? Well, clearly Konrath did, and maybe if I'd read them in order I would too. But reading them scattershot (but will do them in order next time) has its appeal too. Liking these. (not for you, Angie, too graphic)."

    " I love Jack Daniels and Konrath's stories, but I wince at all the violence against women. There's violence against men, too, and it's all equally gory and brutal, but somehow whenever it's Jack getting ripped up, I find it more bothersome. Obviously not enough to stop reading them, but enough that this doesn't get four stars, which it would have otherwise. "

    " Really enjoyed how the author jumped around to 3 different time periods to bring in Jack's past. Cannot wait to read Stirred to find out what happens to Jack, but will be sad to see the series come to an end. "

    " Konrath serves up some pretty stiff drinks. If blood, guts and violence don't help you get to sleep at night, then his Jack Daniels series is not for you. If you are a fan, then "Shaken" is essential reading to help you discover all those back story details about Jacqueline. "Shaken" also serves as a great set-up for the new direction that Konrath is heading with his Chicago detective series. "

    " Shockingly violent and I've read some gruesome and violent books. Be prepared. Often I had to pause and put the book down and take a breath before I continued. I liked the format-the time jumps that help develope the characters. Not for kids, that's for sure. "
