2. The Blind Pig
The Blind Pig opens as a cop kills an armed intruder and two hit men shoot a jukebox. It would seem an open-and-shut case, but the deceased turns out to have been a hit man for the mob, and Mul finds himself smack in the middle of a gun-running plot. Meanwhile, a "delicious kumquat" of a woman is using her own brand of ammo on Mulheisen in the after-hours world of Detroit jazz, and Mulheisen has figured out that the shootings revolve around a young man who’d struck it rich in trucking–and then everything explodes when someone pulls off a million-dollar heist. The take? Sleek, beautiful guns–enough to start a war.
4. Hit on the House
In Hit on the House, acclaimed by Jim Harrison as "an unqualifiably brilliant novel," Hal Good, a contract killer, is hired to whack Big Sid Sedlacek–a mob heavy who’s been on the take. Picked up as a possible witness, Hal switches IDs with a drunk and walks out of jail before Mulheisen can question him. Soon other Mob higher-ups begin to meet bloody ends, and a woman from Mulheisen’s past turns up married to an abrasive computer entrepreneur with a suspicious number of friends in "the business." As the investigation gets ever more unwieldy, the body count mounts, while the millions of dollars skimmed by Big Sid and his unnamed partners–including, maybe, Hal–stay missing.
5. Deadman
Deadman is another virtuoso performance from a master crime novelist. This time, Mulheisen is headed out of town, hot on the trail of Helen Sedlacek, who skipped out with a truckload of stolen cash after chopping down mob boss Carmine Busoni with a double-barreled twelve-gauge shotgun. A man fitting the description of Joe Service — Helen’s amour and Mulheisen’s nemesis — has turned up in a Butte hospital in a coma, having been shot in the face at close range. Mario Soper, a Mafia assassin with a contract on Joe, has turned up dead in a Montana irrigation ditch. But where is Helen — and the money? Who killed Mario — and who shot Joe?
7. Man with an Axe
It’s springtime in Detroit and Detective Sergeant "Fang" Mulheisen has settled in for a period of repose – he thinks. But when a young kid arrives with an E-mail cartoon message addressed to Mulheisen depicting a murder and an alluring young historian suddenly wants to know all about Grootka, Mulheisen begins a scavenger hunt to uncover the notebooks Grootka left behind. It turns out that Grootka knew a lot more than he ever told Mulheisen, or anyone. Such as what happened to Jimmy Hoffa one lonely weekend in an isolated African-American resort town on the Great Lakes, and the advice Grootka gave him: "When push comes to shove, kick is better." Mulheisen soon discovers that neither the young historian nor modern jazz’s rising star is what he seems.
8. La Donna Detroit
It opens as mob boss Humphrey DiEbola has tracked femme fatale Helen Sedlacek to Montana, where she fled after killing Humphrey’s predecessor and running off with millions in Mafia cash. Unexpectedly, rather than take vengeance, he offers her redemption. Humphrey has also set about drastically downsizing old hands, even turning over his illegal cigar factory to Helen to make some legitimate, Cuban-quality cigars. Is he grooming her to become La Donna Detroit? When a quiet poker party in Humphrey’s basement leaves all hands dead, Mulheisen smells a rat — and he’s not the only one.
9. Badger Games
Badger Games finds Jackson at the top of his form, as Joe Service and Helen Sedlacek find themselves in the middle of an international cat-and-mouse intrigue beginning in Kosovo and stretching to the mountains of Montana.A former freelance contractor to the Mob, Joe Service is now in the employ of the Lucani, a cadre of rogue government agents who have recently lost an operative known only as Franko. Franko, last seen in the path of a drug-smuggling ring in a Kosovar mountain village, was from Montana — so Joe and mafia princess Helen head to Butte to see what they can learn. But they’re not the only ones. A volatile mercenary nicknamed the Badger is also looking for Franko; and the Lucani have sent backup — to help Joe or to contain him, he’s not sure — in the form of a bombshell who rivals Lara Croft for sex appeal and dangerous moves. Taut, masterful, and wickedly clever, Badger Games is a note-perfect thriller from one of the masters of the genre.
10. No Man’s Dog
In No Man’s Dog Jon A. Jackson’s longtime hero "Fang" Mulheisen is back for a volatile confrontation with his old nemesis, Joe Service. Add to the mix drug dealers, international terrorists, federal agents acting outside the law, and the hellish fury of crime-babe Helen Sedlacek, and you have a Molotov cocktail. The novel opens with Mulheisen’s aged mother nearly slain by an incomprehensible bombing at an orderly environmental protest. Mulheisen resigns from the force to nurse her, but as she recovers he turns his implacable attention to the bombers. The Task Force can’t decide if it’s anti-environmentalists, international terrorists, or a drug cartel’s attempt to quiet a witness or spring him-but Mulheisen quickly notices what the Feds haven’t: a gun-happy survivalist on the scene. Some dogs prefer to hunt on their own, and in Badger Games readers saw that Joe Service would run the most vicious beast to earth. Now Mulheisen reminds us he’s the old dog in this hunt. Will this fight bring Service and Mulheisen together, at risk of losing the prey?
