The Jack “Keeper” Marconi series is one of Vincent Zandri’s earliest and longest-running franchises, starting with As Catch Can in 1999. Marconi is a former prison warden — hence the nickname “Keeper” — who transitions to private investigation, bringing his knowledge of criminals and the justice system to cases that range from personal vendettas to institutional corruption.
The eleven books span more than 25 years of publication, with Zandri continuing to add entries through 2025. The Albany, New York setting grounds the series in a specific place, and Marconi’s prison background gives him an unusual skill set and worldview among thriller protagonists. The series includes The Innocent, which became Zandri’s breakthrough bestseller when it was republished in 2010.
