A serial killer is stalking Jack's town--and no one's safe. But they don't know Jack.

Jack looked up at the giant, dead body brazenly hung on the quaint Welcome to Darrington sign. He turned to the town's mayor. "Mayor Lewis, when you said people had nothing to fear, it pricked the killer's vanity. He's using this latest victim to send you a message: Be afraid. Be very afraid--of him. If you want to catch this serial killer, you need to feed his ego. Tell the people he's right. They should be scared--no one's safe while he controls the town."

Rogue hero Jack Stratton is back in another action-packed, thrilling adventure. While recovering from a gunshot wound and the loss of his job on the police force, Jack's romance with feisty Alice (aka Replacement) continues to develop. When Alice gets a seemingly harmless private investigation job--locate the owner of a lost dog--Jack grudgingly assists. Little do they know it will place them both in the crosshairs of a merciless serial killer.

An action-packed thrill ride until the very end.

Jack and the Giant Killer is part of the Detective Jack Stratton Mystery-Thriller Series, which has over 5,000 five-star reviews and one million readers and counting. If you love a page-turning thriller with mystery, humor, and a dash of romance, pick up Jack and the Giant Killer today!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My name is Christopher Greyson, and I am a storyteller.

Since I was a little boy, I have dreamt of what mystery was around the next corner, or what quest lay over the hill. If I couldn’t find an adventure, one usually found me, and now I weave those tales into my stories. I am blessed to have written over twenty novels.

My love for tales of mystery and adventure began with my grandfather, a decorated World War I hero. I will never forget being introduced to his friend, a WWI pilot who flew across the skies at the same time as the feared, legendary Red Baron. My love of reading and storytelling eventually led me to write and it’s the best job I’ve ever had.

I love to hear from my readers. Please visit ChristopherGreyson.com, where you can become a preferred reader, download an exclusive Jack Stratton mystery, and receive advanced notifications of book releases and more! Please follow Detective Jack Stratton on Twitter @chris_greyson and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ChristopherGreysonAuthor. Thank you for reading my novels. I hope my stories have brightened your day.

Sincerely,

Christopher Greyson

5.0 out of 5 stars Even Superior to the Other Jack Books
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
Jack Stratton and Replacement have now starred in five books. All have been very good. They are rare characters who are fun, yet have very serious issues in their lives, past and present. I have enjoyed the first four, which were light, airy and thoroughly relaxing enjoyable romps. This one, however, eclipses the others in content and form. It puts Mr. Greyson in the upper echelon of mystery/thriller writers writing today. He has given even more depth and sophistication to the characters without sacrificing any plot. It is as if his writing has matured with his character's, especially Replacement's (aka Alice).

This book starts when Alice is hired to find the owner of a lost dog. The dog is a huge beast and we quickly learn that Jack is not a dog person and the dog is not a Jack person. This worn story line is not overdone, however. The search for the owner, turns into a search for a serial killer and Jack and Replacement are on it. In the previous books, Sheriff Collins has not had much use for Jack. The sheriff is out of town for this one, so that bit, which had become a bit tedious is left out.

I do not mean to continually compare this book to the first ones. Like any set of books with the same main characters, this one is better if you've read the prior ones. However, it would stand alone just fine. Problem is...then you're going to ahve to go back and read the first ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Entertainment, Worth Your Time

As in the past, I enjoyed this Christopher Greyson story. I like the relationship evolution of the two protagonists, Jack & Replacement, and the plot is as entertaining as ever.

The characters are colorful; there's plenty of suspense, occasional humor and a good murder mystery. I'm please that although this is the fourth book in a series, it can be read independently and you're not forced to read it in order to finalize the previous book. I believe you'll enjoy the series more and better understand the characters by starting with the first book (Girl Jacked); but it's not a requirement.

Nice storyline, some poignant moments, good humor and a solid ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend as engaging and entertaining - you'll want to read the whole series!

I got the first book in this series for free (after seeing it promoted on BookBub). My expectations aren’t too high for free Kindle books. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoyed Girl Jacked: A Detective Jack Stratton Mystery. I want books to engage me, entertain me, interest me, with characters that I enjoy, maybe romance but not too much blatant sex or too much really foul language, and with decent editing without distracting mistakes. Girl Jacked gave me all of that and more. I enjoyed it so much that as soon as I finished it, I went to Amazon and immediately purchased the 2nd book in the series, Jack Knifed. I rarely actually purchase a Kindle book – so that alone is a top recommendation from me! After I finished the 2nd book, I again immediately went to Amazon and purchased the 3rd book in the series, Jacks Are Wild. After reading some if it, I realized that I was firmly hooked and went back to Amazon and purchased the 4th & 5th books in this series, Jack And The Giant Killer and Data Jack. I am finally disappointed – because I have finished all of these books AND I STILL WANT MORE! I will be anxiously awaiting publication of Christopher Greyson’s next novel – whenever that may be! The books in this series can be read independently, out of order, but I think you will enjoy them the best if you read them in order of publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars JACK AND THE GIANT KILLER - The Detective Jack Stratton Series Book # 5
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017
Verified Purchase
As I’ve previously said, I don’t go into the plot in my reviews. Other reviewers
do that and so does the description of the book.
I stumbled on this series when the first book in the series, AND THEN SHE
WAS GONE was on an Amazon Promotion and I was placing a book order.
It looked interesting so I added it for something different— from an as yet
unknown author to me.
I enjoyed it so much, when I finished reading it, even though I still had a box of
books to read, I ordered the other 5 books in the series: GIRL JACKED,
JACK KNIFED, JACKS ARE WILD, JACK AND THE GIANT KILLER and DATA JACK.
During the past week or so I’ve re-read AND THEN SHE WAS GONE, following thru
reading each book in order.(It’s not necessary to read in order. Each book is a stand
alone story.) I’ve just finished # 6, DATA JACK. It should be said I have a lot of down
time, which means a lot of time to read.
I’ve found this series to be good enough to add to my list of “favs”—mystery authors
I follow and usually pre-order all their next books, not yet published. He’s joining the
likes of James Patterson, Michael Connelly, Patricia Cornwell, Jeffery Deaver,
Janet Evanovich, Iris Johansen, Ian Rankin and Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb
to name a few. If you enjoy reading their mystery books, you’ll probably enjoy
Christopher Greyson as well.
It should also be said that the editing in good. I think altogether in the six books
I’ve only found 3-4 errors and they weren’t so egregious as to detract you from
your reading.
The characters are well developed and real. I think that’s one of the things I really
like about Greyson. These characters are like “real” people. I can visualize them and
their interactions with one another as if they were people I know. All the dialog isn’t in
full sentences—but then I don’t talk that way either, do you? The stories are diverse
and I’ve found them to be page-turners.
The last time I checked, his newest addition to the series was only available for
pre-order for kindle. I prefer literally, “curling up with a good book”. Today, I see
JACK OF HEARTS is being released tomorrow (8.14.17) for all editions—so I’ve
ordered it.
I highly recommend this entire series to all who enjoy a good, well written mystery.
