SynopsisSoon to be a major motion picture starring Sylvester Stallone, this thriller tells of a string of murders in an alcohol detox center. Besides battling his own alcohol demons, homicide detective Jeb Quinlin must find the killer who is tagging each of the dead bodies with one of AA's 12 steps. Take Tony Hillerman's advice: "Don't miss it." Martin's Press., In Jitter Joint, award-winning journalist Howard Swindle delivers Jeb Quinlin, a Dallas homicide detective combating crime-and his own personal demons. "The weak and pitiful shall perish..." Jeb Quinlin has been issued an ultimatum by his boss and his wife: dry out or get out. So he hits his favorite bar for a last fifth of Wild Turkey and reluctantly enters detox. Once inside, Jeb is forced to confront his years of alcoholism with the help of Librium, hard-core therapy, and AA meetings. But someone is taking the words of the Big Book too far, as rehab patients begin to die mysteriously, each tagged with one of AA's Twelve Steps. Now Jeb is on a sobering hunt for the Twelve-Step killer, a twisted psychopath who's taking the battle with the bottle to horrifying new heights...
