She has solved some of the city's toughest and most high-profile homicides. Her personal life is finally in order. Her friends and family are safe and happy. And she just got a call that eased her mind like nothing else could: Alex Kork, one of the most dangerous criminals Jack ever arrested, killed herself while in jail.

But things sour quickly when a group of vigilantes on a murderous spree decide to take down a cop and the people she cares about ... and they turn downright awful when Jack discovers that Kork may not be dead after all.

The next eight hours will be the worst of Jack's life. And that's saying something.

Fuzzy Navel is perfect for readers who like their mysteries with a shot of humor.

Cherry Bomb, the sixth Jack Daniels mystery, opens at the funeral. While Jack stands graveside, tears in her eyes, her cell phone rings. It's the killer, escaped maniac Alex Kork, taunting Jack, drawing her ever further into a twisted game of cat and mouse. Because while Alex is more than willing to kill random victims, Jack is her true prey. But which woman wants revenge more?

Cherry Bomb is J. A. Konrath's most gripping novel of suspense yet--filled with twists and turns that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

THE LIST is a bit of a departure for Konrath. It's a technothriller about a group of ten people who all have tattoos of numbers on the bottoms their feet, and don't know why.

One of them, a Chicago Homicide cop named Tom Mankowski, has had one of these strange tattoos since birth. When he investigates a violent murder and discovers the victim also has a tattooed number, it sets the ball rolling for an adventure of historic proportions.

To say more would give away too much.

Like the Jack Daniels series, The List combines laugh out loud humor with serious suspense and thrills.

If the Kindle had back jacket copy, it would read:

A billionaire Senator with money to burn...
A thirty year old science experiment, about to be revealed...
Seven people, marked for death, not for what they know, but for what they are...

All hell is about the break loose. For real.

If Kindle had back jacket copy, it would read:

In reality, Satan is not a handsome gentleman as portrayed by a Hollywood leading man. Viewing him through the Plexiglas, he's a frightening beast, massively muscled, with hoofs the size of washtubs and the serrated teeth of a carnivore. The demon can be pleasant, even chatty, and delights in showing off his power of resurrecting the dead sheep he dines upon. To some of the staff studying him at the secret government compound, he's even likable.

That is, until he escapes...

Before the events of Jack Kilborn's epic horror novel AFRAID...

Before the events of J.A. Konrath's critically acclaimed thrillers FUZZY NAVEL and CHERRY BOMB...

Before the events of Jack Kilborn's and Blake Crouch's #1 Amazon Kindle bestseller SERIAL...

Three hunters of humans meet for the ultimate showdown at the TRUCK STOP.

Taylor is a recreational killer, with dozens of gristly murders under his belt. He pulls into a busy Wisconsin truck stop at midnight, trolling for the next to die.

Chicago Homicide cop Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels is a long way from home, driving to meet her boyfriend for a well-earned vacation. She pulls into the truck stop for a quick cup of coffee and stumbles into her worst nightmare.

Jack's no stranger to dealing with psychos, but she's got her hands full trying to stop Taylor. Especially since he's getting help from someone just as deadly; a portly serial maniac named Donaldson...

TRUCK STOP is a 15,000 word thriller novella that ties together Konrath's and Kilborn's works, with terrifying results.

A prequel to SERIAL, which has been downloaded more than 70,000 times, TRUCK STOP is an eighteen-wheeled ride straight into hell. Not for the faint of heart. Let the reader beware.

A millionaire businessman indulging a passion for murder.
And human guinea pig who has been awake for seven straight weeks.

DISTURB by JA Konrath
You’ll never sleep well again

JA Konrath is the author of six mysteries in the Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels series, including Whiskey Sour, Bloody Mary, Rusty Nail, Dirty Martini, Fuzzy Navel, and Cherry Bomb.

Disturb is Konrath's first medical thriller.

If the Kindle had back jacket copy, this is what it would look like:

It's the pharmaceutical breakthrough of the millennium. DruTech Industries proudly presents N-SOM, a pill that completely replaces eight hours of sleep. Feel totally refreshed, both physically and mentally, in just fifteen minutes a night.

The profit potential is boundless. Mankind's productivity will go through the roof. One third of a person's life could be recovered, for only ten dollars a dose.

The FDA sends CDER agent Dr. Bill May to green light N-SOM for American use. The pressure, both political and monetary, is tremendous. But Bill soon harbors fears that N-SOM may not be as safe as early reports indicate...

After meeting brilliant inventors Dr. Nikos Stefanopolous and his beautiful daughter Theena, Bill stumbles into an insidious cover-up that hinges on Emmanuel Tibbets, a human guinea pig who hasn't had a wink of sleep in over fifty days.

Bill's investigation soon unearths a snarled tangle of extortion, conspiracy, taboo sex, hidden secrets, and murderous betrayal.

When N-SOM'S deadly side-effects are revealed, along with the shocking truth of how the drug is produced, Bill and Theena find themselves on the run from hired assassins, three letter government agencies, and a breed of psychopath unlike any ever known.

Billions of dollars, and billions of lives, are at stake. Can Bill and Theena survive long enough to expose the truth? Or will the world succumb to an evil that may bring about the extinction of mankind?]]> 137270 3.76 2806 498 2009 6308603 1590806115 9781590806111 3 <![CDATA[Missing]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6308603.Missing 4.50 6 2865528 4.50 6 3 1079975 4.81 21 6 863718 3.72 29 5 2525338 3.93 76 29 2865529 4.64 11 5 722376 4.29 28 8 67996 4.04 48 18 2865530 4.50 6 3 43763 3.76 178 18 1425167 4.13 15 6 137270 3.76 2806 498 2824755 4.00 11 6 2865531 4.50 6 3 1129513 4.15 39 19 1079974 4.71 14 6 2009 6416357 1 <![CDATA[Suckers]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1260975013m/6416357.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1260975013s/6416357.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6416357-suckers 3.17 6
Strand's perpetually unlucky character Andrew Mayhem, star of the novels Graverobbers Wanted (No Experience Necessary), Single White Psychopath Seeks Same, and Casket For Sale (Only Used Once), sets off on a simple mission at the request of his wife: Get some spaghetti sauce.

On his way to the store he meets Konrath's obnoxious private eye Harry McGlade, co-star of the Lt. Jack Daniels thrillers Whiskey Sour, Bloody Mary, Rusty Nail, Dirty Martini, Fuzzy Navel, and Cherry Bomb.

Horrific violence, bad jokes, and lots of name calling soon ensues. Some sex, too, but not between the main characters.

Originally, published as a very expensive limited-edition hardcover, Suckers is now available as a super cheap ebook.

But the fun doesn't stop there.

Also included in this ebook are six other Mayhem and McGlade stories, many of them rare and long out of print.

Whelp Wanted - JA Konrath
Poor Career Choice - Jeff Strand

The Lost (For a Good Reason) Adventure of Andrew Mayhem - Jeff Strand

If that's not enough to get you to part with your pocket change, this ebook also includes two brand new introductions written by the authors, and an exclusive Strand/Konrath interview.

That's over 53,000 words worth of demented entertainment, for half the price of a kiddie meal at that fast food restaurant with the scary clown. It's also 1/3 of the calories.

Warning: Some of the jokes (mostly Konrath's) push the boundaries of good taste. Don't buy this if you're easily offended.

Here's what critics and bestselling authors have to say:

"JA Konrath is the greatest writer who ever lived!" -- Jeff Strand, published author of Benjamin's Parasite

"No, no, Jeff Strand is way better!" -- JA Konrath, published author of Whiskey Sour

"I officially withdraw my previous quote based on new information provided by JA Konrath's quote. Jeff Strand is the greatest writer who ever lived!" -- Jeff Strand, published author of The Sinister Mr. Corpse

"Of course, Jack Kilborn is better than both of us combined and mixed with a side helping of the Bronte sisters." -- JA Konrath, published author of the more mediocre half of Suckers

"Well, duh." -- Jeff Strand, published author of the half of Suckers that's okay, sort of, if your expectations aren't too high.]]> 137270 3.76 2806 498 207708 3.51 787 114 2009 6416363 0 <![CDATA[Shot of Tequila]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6416363-shot-of-tequila 3.50 2
Despite the drink-related title, Shot of Tequila is not a Jack Daniels book.

Jack Daniels appears as a character in Shot of Tequila, but only in a supporting role. She's the co-star, not the hero.

Shot of Tequila is a hardboiled crime novel about mobsters, not a police procedural about psychotic killers... though there are plenty of cops and psychotic killers in this novel.

From the author:

"While I enjoy writing the funny/scary style the Jack Daniels books have become known for, this book is something different. Something darker. Something noir and edgy and pulpy.

Tequila isn't like my other novels. The hero is a criminal, a mob enforcer framed for a crime and on the run. I've dialed down the humor, focusing instead on action. This still a Konrath book, but it's a different kind of Konrath book."

If Kindle had jacket copy, it would read:

A GUTSY ROBBERY
Several million bucks, stolen from the mob...

A PERFECT FRAME
All caught on video, with no chance of redemption...

A RED HOT RECIPE FOR RAMPAGING REVENGE
Now one man must face the entire Chicago Outfit, a group of hardened Mafia enforcers, a psychotic bookie, the most dangerous hitman on earth, and Detective Jacqueline Daniels.

His name is Tequila. And he likes those odds.

"Fascinating! Killing Red is not for the faint of heart. It kept me turning pages long into the night.” — Lisa Jackson

“Killing Red is an intense, smart read, and Alex Chapa is a character of flesh and blood. A terrific debut—bravo!” — Marcus Sakey

"Killing Red heralds a meteoric debut crafted with surgical skill! Not since Thomas Harris burst onto the scene with Black Sunday has a debut thriller come along that sinks its hooks this deep into a reader from page one. Here's a public service message to all thriller lovers: Do not start this book at night if you wnt to get any sleep, becuse you will be up until you cross the finish line – pulse racing, skin sweaty – but happy as hell you decided to go on this magnificent thrill ride. Highest recommendation!" — Jay Bonansinga

The underground Internet sensation, J. Andrew Haknort, is finally available for your Kindle reader thingy, so you don't have to kill yourself!

What? Haven't heard of the Woobie Award winning poetry of Haknort?

He was voted the worst poet in history, by people who vote for things like that, probably when they should be working instead of screwing around with Internet polls. Your boss knows you slack off. He's got a little tracker bot on your computer, so he sees how often you check your Facebook page. He's also got a spy cam in the washroom.

Where were we? Oh yeah. The ebook.

This ebook collection of over one thousand terrible, offensive, vulgar, dirty, politically incorrect bad poems and awful jokes is just the thing to brighten up your miserable life.

Unless you're easily offended. Then you shouldn't buy this. Spend your money on something better for your soul. Like meth. Or bullets.

But... if you can handle extreme bad taste, and you're the type of person who has a bunch of goofy friends who like to get drunk and play "handtool dodgeball," then this may be the book you've been searching for your whole miserable life.

This ebook contains hundreds and hundreds of hilariously awful poems and gut-busting jokes. Plus it's fat free. And it makes you more attractive. And it cures warts.

Plus, it's pretty funny. Not funny like your Aunt Zelda, who your parents put in a home because she thought the squirrels were plotting against her. This ebook is haha funny.

In fact, this is 100% guaranteed to make you wet your pants laughing. If you don't wet your pants, we'll send someone over to wet them for you.

Come on! Buy it already! You got something better to do with your pocket change? Maybe head on over to the vending machine for a little snack action? Save yourself an angioplasty, chubbo, and spend your lousy buck on this book instead.

Or maybe you're thinking of saving your pennies for the jukebox. If so, you're probably over 50. Jukebox? Get an iPod, Gramps! Join the 21st century!

The fact is, there isn't a single thing you can spend your money on that will give you more enjoyment than this crappy little ebook poetry collection. Except maybe feeder mice. They get so freaked-out when you drop them in the aquarium with your pet snake, and they run around all scared, but where are you going to run, little Mr. Mouse? You're stuck in an aquarium! You can see through the walls of your glass prison but you can't escape!

Snakes are cool.

If you took all the snakes in the world, and laid them all end to end, it would probably take a lot of time.

About this ebook:

We're not telling you anything else that will be helpful. Other than the fact that this is CHEAP.

Let's face it. Ebooks SHOULD be cheap. It's not like they're being printed, and shipped, and sold at a bookstore, with every Johnny Middle Man and Suzie Retailer taking their cut.

Ebooks are a bunch of ones and zeros. They cost nothing to produce or send. So why the hell are some bestselling authors charging $11.99 for a Kindle version? Aren't they rich enough yet? How many Porsches do you need, writer boy?

They should GIVE THE BOOKS AWAY FOR FREE!

But no one ever listens to us...

About the author:

J. Andrew Haknort was a beat poet. He got beat a lot. Ha! Ha!

Then he died, and now we're making fat bank off of his legacy. Don't give us that look. You'd do it too if you thought of it first.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this ebook go to a good cause. But don't get up on your high horse there, John Wayne. It's not a large portion. It's not even half.

In fact, it's no proceeds at all. But it wasn't a good cause anyway.]]> 2925383 0.0 0 0 137270 3.76 2806 498 2009
