Shaken / J. A. Konrath / 262 pages

Retired Lt. Jack (Jacqueline) Daniels is being held captive by a madman she has hunted for two decades.  J. A. Konrath weaves his page-turner using alternating chapters describing events as they unfold twenty years ago, three years ago, and the present.  Harry, Herb, and Phin play supporting rolls in this the latest Jack Daniels mystery.  "Mark Twain once said that true bravery isn't the absence of fear, but the ability to act in the face of fear."  Jack and her friends are truly brave.
