The Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels series is J.A. Konrath’s longest-running and best-known work. Starting with Whiskey Sour in 2004, the series follows Lieutenant Jack Daniels of the Chicago PD as she hunts serial killers, tangles with recurring villains, and tries to keep her personal life from falling apart. Every book title is named after an alcoholic drink, giving the series a distinctive branding.
The series evolved over its two-decade run, growing darker and more violent as Konrath expanded the cast and raised the body count. Supporting characters like Harry McGlade, Phineas Troutt, and Chandler proved popular enough to spin off into their own series. With 24 books published between 2004 and 2026, the Jack Daniels series has become one of the longer-running mystery franchises in indie publishing.
