Shaken

By J.A. Konrath

Book Overview

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." More than two hundred homicides have been attributed to him. His victims have died in the most horrible ways imaginable. He's the essence of evil. Some think he's just an urban legend. But he's real. Jack has tangled with him twice in the past, and both times he managed to slip away.

Now Jack will finally have a 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...

Customer Reviews

Awesome read

Excellent Jack book. This story takes you from present, to three years ago, to 21 yrs ago when she first joined the force. The start of her on the police force paired with McGlade to partnering with Herb, the introduction of Alan before she was married, and to the present with Phinn. All throughout as the past and present collide with a killer she's been chasing for 25 years.
