The Jack McCain series consists of three forensic crime novels published between 2002 and 2005. Like her Gemma Lincoln books, Gabrielle Lord uses the Jack McCain stories to explore crime through the lens of forensic investigation. Death Delights, Lethal Factor, and Dirty Weekend follow McCain through cases where the science of crime-solving drives the narrative.

The series is compact at three books, but each one delivers a fully developed mystery with attention to procedural detail. Lord writes forensic procedure with enough specificity to satisfy readers who enjoy the technical side of crime fiction, while keeping the human elements of the investigations front and center.
