Read Shot of Tequila Storyline:

A GUTSY ROBBERYSeveral million bucks, stolen from the mob...A PERFECT FRAMEAll caught on video, with no chance of redemption...A RED HOT RECIPE FOR RAMPAGING REVENGENow 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.SHOT OF TEQUILA by JA KonrathThis ebook also features an exclusive sneak-peak--three full chapters--of INSIDE OUT, the latest thriller by NYT bestselling author Barry Eisler.Book Description:Shot of Tequila takes place in the early 1990s, and is both an homage to and a re-envisioning of classic action novels by authors like Mickey Spillane, Ross MacDonald, Donald Westlake, and Elmore Leonard, but with a more modern twist.The breakneck action is intercut with scenes featuring Konrath's series hero Jack Daniels, here as a supporting character chasing the main protagonist.Edge-of-your-seat suspense, non-stop action, and dark humor punctuate this heist novel/fugitive-on-the-run thriller. Fans of Konrath's police procedurals will enjoy the slight departure from his normal writing style, while still finding familiarity with the setting and characters. SHOT OF TEQUILA is approximately 75,000 words, and is specially formatted for Kindle with an active table of contents.

Haunted House, the new Jack Kilborn novel of terror, will be available in mid 2013.He has sold over a million ebooksFrom the AuthorThere is some ambiguity about where Shot of Tequila fits into the Jack Daniels series.Technically, it is the first book in the series, because it takes place before Jack becomes a Lieutenant. But it really isn't Jack's book. She's a supporting character, not the main one. The main character is a mobster named Tequila.Tequila later appears in Serial Killers Uncut, Spree, and Last Call.I purposely write each of my books so it can be read without any prior knowledge of any of the others. If you want to start on the last book and work backwards, or start in the middle, you can still enjoy the series without missing anything.That said, some readers do want a chronological list of events in Jack's life. So here it is.Besides the eight Jack Daniels novels, Jack and her cohorts have appeared as supporting characters in several other books and stories. Here's the order, from her years as a rookie cop, to the future.SHOT OF TEQUILA by JA KonrathSERIAL KILLERS UNCUT by JA Konrath and Blake Crouch WHISKEY SOUR by JA KonrathBLOODY MARY by JA KonrathTHE LIST by JA KonrathRUSTY NAIL by JA KonrathDIRTY MARTINI by JA KonrathEXPOSED by JA Konrath and Ann Voss PetersonHIT by JA Konrath and Ann Voss Peterson*NAUGHTY by JA Konrath and Ann Voss Peterson*JACK DANIELS STORIES by JA KonrathPUSHED TOO FAR by Ann Voss PetersonFLEE by JA Konrath and Ann Voss PetersonSPREE by JA Konrath and Ann Voss PetersonTHREE by JA Konrath and Ann Voss Peterson*FLOATERS by JA Konrath and Henry PerezBURNERS by JA Konrath and Henry PerezFUZZY NAVEL by JA KonrathCHERRY BOMB by JA Konrath SHAKEN by JA KonrathSTIRRED by JA Konrath and Blake CrouchLAST CALL by JA Konrath and Blake Crouch*TIMECASTER by JA KonrathTIMESUPERSYMMETRY by JA KonrathTIMECASTER STEAMPUNK by JA Konrath**coming soonThe Jack Daniels books also cross over with several books with my frequent collaborator Blake Crouch, and my pen name, Jack Kilborn.
