Seven people, marked for death, not for what they know, but for what they are...
THE LIST by JA Konrath
History is about to repeat itself
Book Description:
THE LIST is a bit of a departure for Konrath. It's a technothriller about a group of ten people who each have tattoos of numbers on the bottoms their feet, and don't know why.
One of them, a Chicago Homicide cop named Tom Mankowski, has had one of these strange tattoos since birth. When he investigates a violent murder and discovers the victim also has a tattooed number, it sets the ball rolling for an adventure of historic proportions.
To say more would give away too much.
Like the Jack Daniels series, THE LIST combines laugh out loud humor with serious suspense and thrills.
THE LIST is approximately 82,000 words long, and is specially formatted for Kindle with an active table of contents.

 Mesmerizing...Apr 27, 2009
By Neosha
I downloaded "The List" to my Kindle for two reasons: 1) I'd just finished "Afraid" and I loved it. 2) "The List" was less than $2 and I was intrigued.
Now I feel like I owe Joe money! I was completely entertained from start to finish. I truly could not put it down. Bert and Roy, two of the main characters, had me laughing out loud. Tom is the hero. He's a cop assigned to a homicide and the body has a mysterious tattoo just like the one oh his foot. Joan is a victim turned heroine and she is my kind of woman....strong AND kicks butt. I can't stand the kind of woman who gets tied to the railroad tracks whimpering "save me, save me".
The suspense is tight and the premise is not past the realm of probability.
I don't want to mention much else because I don't want to give anything away!
JA Konrath writes in the caliber of writers like James Patterson, Dean Koontz, and Greg Iles....with a true bend on twisted.
Check it out....download the sample or just give in, go ahead, get the book. I can't wait to see the movie.

 Too much blood and gore with a little story thrown inAug 24, 2010
By Libby Mari
I thought the basic premise of the book, as outlined in the summary, was interesting and different enough to make me curious so I bought the book and started reading. When I was only 10% through the novel (according to my Kindle), already there had been fingers amputated, a beheading, someone's face had been sliced, a dog impaled, a woman attacked twice, and numerous accounts of torture (ie, a man impaled through the anus and then the stake move an inch an hour until it exited through his mouth hours later)that had occured previous the novel's starting point. I don't like graphic violence, and while I was willing to endure it for the sake of a genuine story, it became obvious when the main character was introduced as the clone of Thomas Jefferson that the gratuitous violence was really a distraction from a very odd plot. Couldn't finish it--couldn't stomach the disgusting images that alternated with the silliness.

A boatload of fun!May 30, 2009
By D. Pease
"D. Robert Pease"
I just finished the list, and have to say, I'm now a Konrath fan. I've been following his blog on writing for years, but never read anything because I wasn't into the genre he wrote. But when I saw he was selling The List for so cheap for the Kindle (Kindle reader on my iPhone) I decided to give him a try. And like one of the other reviewers said, now I feel like I owe him more money. What a blast of a read. It had everything, a great premise, fun dialogue, political intrigue, hint of romance, and Abraham Lincoln. I love Abraham Lincoln. This is one of those books that I put down and instantly thought what a great movie it would make. Thanks Mr. Konrath for selling it so cheap and writing such a great book. I'll definitely be back for more.

Another Entertaining Konrath ReadSep 08, 2009
By Matthew Erwin
I've been working my way through Konrath's novels for a bit now, reading one and coming back a few months later for another. Thankfully they never disappoint.
The List is another Konrath book that is available for free on his website or Kindle formated here for an incredibly low price. Like many other of Konrath's books, the gore comes fast and furious along with the jokes. The interplay between Bert and Roy is enough to make the book likeable by itself.
Not to spoil too much of the plot, but the idea of people battling the greatest killers of the past is one seeping with entertainment value to say the least. Like most of his books, it is not great literature or a challenging read. It is pure distilled action and fun. What more can you really ask for?

 The worstApr 16, 2011
By karyne
Looking for a cliche ending? How about stupid sidekicks? Lame dialogue? Annoying and contrived character descriptions? Then by all means buy this book. The best part about it is the fact that it only cost a couple bucks.
