Jack Daniels and Associates: BOILERMAKER (Kindle Worlds Novella)

Private Investigator Booker T. Adams knows that dipping a toe in the filthy moat of organized crime is the equivalent to sticking a finger in an electric socket—if it doesn't kill you, it will certainly alter your way of life. Which is why his reluctant history of swapping favors with a Chicago crime boss must remain dormant.

Until Booker receives a call that changes everything. The seven-year-old daughter of "The Shark" has been kidnapped.

On a flight from Dallas to Chicago before he's told the full story, Booker quickly runs into former Chicago cop Jack Daniels and her obnoxious PI partner, Harry McGlade. With just hours to find the little girl before she's killed, the unlikely threesome—Harry's favorite term—race against time to hunt those who dared to kidnap a mobster's little girl.

United by the love of their own little girls, Jack and Booker deal with gang-bangers, pimps and desperate schmucks—while dodging Harry's crass comments—to solve a case that means far more to both of them then they'd like to admit.

Boilermaker traverses the world of John W. Mefford's South Dallas, take-no-prisoners PI (BOOKER - Streets of Mayhem, BOOKER - Tap That) with J.A. Konrath's former top Chicago detective (Whiskey Sour, Shaken, Stirred) for an uproarious, fast-paced thriller.
