In the vein of Janet Evanovich
comes "one
potent cocktail: a police procedural dashed with romance,
mixed with a shot of sharp-tongued commentary, and garnished
with an acidic sprinkling of spoof." --Andrew
Vachss, author of The Getaway Man
Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels is having
a bad week. Her live-in boyfriend has left her for his personal
trainer, chronic insomnia has caused her to max out her credit
cards with late-night home shopping purchases, and a frightening
killer who calls himself "The Gingerbread Man" is
dumping mutilated bodies in her district.
Between avoiding the FBI and its moronic profiling computer,
joining a dating service, mixing it up with street thugs,
and parrying the advances of an uncouth PI, Jack and her
binge-eating partner, Herb, must catch the maniac before
he kills again -- and Jack is next on his murder list.
Whiskey Sour is full of laugh-out-loud humor and edge-of-your-seat
suspense, and it introduces a fun, fully drawn heroine in
the grand tradition of Kinsey Millhone, Stephanie Plum, and
Kay Scarpetta.
