Everyone loves an escape room.

Everyone except former homicide cop Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels.

Jack has endured a lot of stress in her life, and she doesn't want to be locked in a murder-themed carnival attraction, forced to solve puzzles to get out.

But her young daughter, Sam, really wants to try it. So Jack and her family and friends (Harry McGlade, Phineas Troutt, Herb Benedict) pay for tickets and give it a shot.

There's only one problem. This isn't an ordinary escape room. This one has lethal intentions.

Almost immediately, Jack and her crew aren't just fighting to escape.

They're fighting to stay alive.

Welcome to SerialKillerCon!

The convention where true crime fans get to dress up like their favorite criminals, attend forensics seminars, and meet law enforcement legends.

Former cop Harry McGlade loves being a Guest of Honor.

Former cop Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels... not so much.

Jack hates being the center of attention. True crime groupies freak her out. And some of her police officer peers have serious envy issues.

But the surreal event goes from irritating to frightening when a storm traps everyone inside the conference hotel.

Then fans start getting gruesomely murdered, mimicking Jack's past serial killer cases.

Can two old ex-cops use their decades of experience to end the horror?

Or are Jack and Harry about to finally face a psychopath they can't stop?

Being admitted to a hospital during a pandemic is bad.

Being trapped there while a lunatic is on the loose is even worse.

Ex-cop Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels, ex-criminal Phineas Troutt, and ex-private eye Harry McGlade are all healing after a near-fatal encounter. But it's tough to mend when there's a serial killer prowling the halls at night, draining patients of their blood.

The psychosis is known as Renfield's Syndrome. The psycho has eyes on Jack and her friends.

And they're about to learn that giving blood isn't always voluntary...

Former Chicago Homicide Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels has finally left her violent past behind, and she's moved into a new house with her family.

But her elderly next door neighbor is a bit... off.

Is he really as he appears, a kind old gentlemen with a few eccentricities?

Or are Jack's instincts correct, and he's something much, much darker?

And what is it he's got in his basement?

Jack Daniels is about to learn that evil doesn't mellow with age.

BEYOND AFRAID...
It was an experiment in fear.


Eight people, each chosen because they lived through a terrifying experience. Survivors. They don't scare easily. They know how to fight back.


BEYOND TRAPPED...


Each is paid a million dollars to spend one night in a house. The old Butler House, where those grisly murders occurred so many years ago. A house that is supposedly haunted.


BEYOND ENDURANCE...


They can take whatever they want with them. Religious items. Survival gear. Weapons. All they need to do is last the night.


But there is something evil in this house. Something very evil, and very real. And when the dying starts, it comes with horrifying violence and brutal finality.


There are much scarier things than ghosts.


Things that will kill you slowly and delight in your screams.


Things that won't let you get out alive.

Retired cop Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels and her ex-criminal husband Phineas Troutt have made a lot of enemies over the years. But none worse than The Cowboy, a gunslinging nutcase who wants to slaughter them both, and Hugo Troutt, a gang leader who has been plotting revenge against his younger brother for over a decade.

Separately, these baddies are formidable. Together, they are unstoppable.

But Jack has even more hell to deal with. She and her former partner, private eye Harry McGlade, are in L.A. chasing an insane plastic surgeon who specializes in disfiguring his victims. And Jack's colleague Tom Mankowski has problems of his own with a snuff film auteur named Erinyes.

With four psychopaths on the prowl, Jack, Phin, Harry, and Tom will need to call on some old friends if they hope to get out of LaLa Land alive...

This thirteenth Jack Daniels novel brings together villains from Konrath's thrillers WHITE RUSSIAN, EVERYBODY DIES, and WEBCAM, along with heroes from SHOT OF TEQUILA, THE LIST, WHAT HAPPENED TO LORI, and FLEE, for the ultimate West Coast showdown.

CHASER by JA Konrath
The hunt is on. But who's hunting whom?

Jack is a retired cop who knows and respects firearms. A recent victim of gun violence, she is confined to a wheelchair, getting physical therapy in a rehab facility, and teaching handgun safety and Second Amendment history to the elderly residents.

A thousand miles away, a very disturbed individual with a modified 9mm pistol, a thousand rounds of ammo, and a singular obsession--to make history as the biggest mass murderer ever--decides to make that fantasy a reality.

It has been said the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Jack is about to find out if that's true.

They are ten strangers with one thing in common:
A mysterious tattoo on the bottom of their feet.

None of them know how it got there or what it means.
One of them is a homicide cop who's determined to find out.
All of them are marked for death--because they're next on . . .

THE LIST

The explosive new thriller from bestselling author J.A. Konrath, THE LIST takes you deep inside a top-secret techno-conspiracy that's too shocking to comprehend, too insidious to detect, and far too powerful to stop . . .

Выдающиеся мастера современного триллера, авторы многочисленных бестселлеров, выстрелили дуплетом, объединив своих легендарных персонажей под одной обложкой! Блестящий детектив Джек Дэниелс, талантливый писатель Эндрю Томас, невероятный маньяк Лютер Кайт… В два раза больше напряжения, ужаса – и черного юмора. Он долго готовился к этому небывалому преступлению. Он прилежно учился у самых безумных серийных убийц – и теперь посрамит их. Он запустит кровавый водоворот для нее одной – бывшей полицейской, съевшей на завтрак не одного маньяка. И она вынуждена будет пойти по его следу, женщина на девятом месяце беременности, с заболеванием, угрожающим ей и ее будущему ребенку…

Just when you get out...

Former Chicago cop Jack Daniels thought she'd left her former life behind. She'd traded her badge for a toddler, and her lifelong pursuit of heinous serial killers for a boring house in the suburbs.

...they pull you back in.

Then Jack sees some pictures. Pictures of men who were supposed to be dead. And once again, against the fierce insistence of her husband, Phineas Troutt, Jack reluctantly straps on her gun and goes hunting. Hunting for the worst of the worst.

This leads to a trek across the Great Plains, searching for a modern slavery ring, on a collision course with three of the most horrible villains Jack has ever faced.

But Jack, and her irritating buddy Harry McGlade, will face them, and much more. Because they're prepared to go to hell and back to rescue an old friend.

The trick will be getting back in one piece. And--spoiler alert--they don't.

WHITE RUSSIAN by J.A. Konrath
What are you willing to lose?

A retired cop past her prime...
A kidnapped bank robber fighting for his life...
A former mob enforcer with a blood debt...
A government assassin on the run...
A wisecracking private eye with only one hand...
A homicide sergeant with one week left on the job...


And three of the worst serial killers, ever.

This is where it all ends. An epic showdown in the desert, where good and evil will clash one last time.

His name is Luther Kite, and his specialty is murdering people in ways too horrible to imagine. He's gone south, where he's found a new, spectacular way to kill. And if you have enough money, you can bet on who dies first.

Legendary Chicago cop Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels has retired. She's no longer chasing bad guys, content to stay out of the public eye and raise her new daughter. But when her daughter's father, Phin Troutt, is kidnapped, she's forced to strap on her gun one last time.

Since being separated from his psychotic soulmate, the prolific serial killer known as Donaldson has been desperately searching for her. Now he thinks he's found out where his beloved, insane Lucy has been hiding. He's going to find her, no matter how many people die in the process.

All three will converge in the same place. La Juntita, Mexico. Where a bloodthirsty cartel is enslaving people and forcing them to fight to the death in insane, gladiator-style games.

Join Jack and Phin, Donaldson and Lucy, and Luther, for the very last act in their twisted, perverse saga.

Along for the ride are Jack's friends; Harry and Herb, as well as a mob enforcer named Tequila, and a covert operative named Chandler.

There will be blood. And death. So much death...

Twenty years ago, a young cop named Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels arrested one of the most sadistic killers she'd ever encountered. She has since retired from the Chicago Police Department in order to raise her toddler daughter. But old grudges never die. They fester until the right opportunity comes along. While on vacation in the Wisconsin north woods, Jack learns-too late-that her old adversary is out of prison. He has revenge on his mind. And he's bringing an army with him. Outnumbered, outgunned, and cut off from the outside world, Jack Daniels is about to learn the meaning of last stand. This is the 9th Jack Daniels novel, after STIRRED. More than 1 million Jack Daniels novels have been sold worldwide. RUM RUNNER by JA Konrath That which does not kill you, keeps trying...

Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels has seen humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. She's lost loved ones. Come close to death countless times. But she always manages to triumph over evil. Luther Kite is humanity at its most depraved and terrifying. He's committed unthinkable acts. Taken human life for the sheer pleasure of it. He is a monster among monsters, and no one has ever caught him. Each is the best at what they do. Peerless. Unmatched.

Until now...

In Luther's experience, people are weak. Even the strong and fearless break too easily. He wants a challenge, and sets his depraved sights on Jack. But with a baby on the way, Jack is at her most vulnerable. She's always been a fighter, but she's never had so much to fight for. So he's built something especially for Jack. His own, private ninth circle of hell—a nightmare world in a forgotten place, from which no one has ever escaped.

It's J.A. Konrath's greatest heroine versus Blake Crouch's greatest villain in Stirred, the stunning conclusion to both Konrath's Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thriller series and Crouch's Andrew Z. Thomas series.
