Wikipedia), 1st in his Jack Daniels series of police procedurals, originally out from Disney's Hyperion imprint in 2006.
Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels is having a bad week.

Whiskey Sour is the first book in the bestselling Jack Daniels series, full of laugh-out-loud humor and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
