Pages: 300
Hard boiled Chicago police Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels has been through a lot in the past few years, but nothing prepares her for this thrilling adventure.
Her day starts out with three identical sniping murders at the same time at different locations, then the news that the crazed killer Alex Kork (from Rusty Nail) killed herself while in jail. But things go downhill from there.
Unable to get in touch with her mom or her fiancé, Jack rushes to their home, only to find out that some killers are hard to kill. As if being trapped in her house with the craziest killer she knows and all the people she loves most wasn’t bad enough, it seems her work followed her home as the three snipers surround her home and begin taking their shots.
Rating: 10 out of 5 Stiff Drinks. Seriously, John McClane has easier days than this one. Konrath’s tale takes place over an 8 hour period, which is fun as that’s roughly how long it takes to read. I was seriously breathless at points, and don’t forget to be careful of the twist at the end! That said, from a technical point of view, there are a few spelling and grammar mistakes that stand out, but the story is catchy enough to overlook them.
