The Jackie Lyons series marks Jeff Crook’s move from fantasy into crime fiction. The two books follow Jackie Lyons, a photographer in Memphis who gets pulled into murder investigations. The Sleeping and the Dead (2012) and The Covenant (2013) use the city’s atmosphere as a backdrop for suspenseful mysteries.
The series shows Crook’s ability to write outside the fantasy genre, applying his storytelling skills to a very different kind of world.
