The Dead Years (Book 1)
Book Trailer for The Dead Years (by Tantor Media)
“This is a mighty impressive thriller . . . Readers will take to Burton’s brother-sister duo in this series launch and look forward to more Chicago K-9 thrillers.”
-Booklist
"A new thriller series from an author who's a champ at writing about sniffer dogs. Tightly written . . . Readers who enjoyed Burton's three books in his Mace Reid K-9 mystery series will be equally involved with Cory and his loyal canine companions as he and his sister try to outsmart the killer."
-Twin Cities Pioneer Press
The Dead Years made Criminal Element’s list of "Most Anticipated Reads" for March 2024.
"What an amazing book . . . So inventive . . . A lot of fun to read."
-NPR's Radio Pet Lady (Tracie Hotchner) on Dog Talk
"A job well done."
-Tim Link, Animal Writes on Pet Life Radio
"An exciting, nail-biting thriller told with a lean, suspenseful, and enjoyably laugh-out-loud perspective . . . Will keep you turning the pages until you are done and craving for the next in the series. Loved it!"
-J. Michael Major, award-winning author of One Man's Castle
"This intense series opener is the first in the Chicago K-9 thrillers."
-Stop, You're Killing Me!
"Readers will fall in love with Alice and Rex, of course . . . The twists and turns will keep you reading."
-Kings River Life Magazine
Made one of Kings River Life Magazine's Staff Favorite Books of 2024
"Another solid dog thriller from Burton (Mace Reid K-9 series), that makes good use of the dogs, the lead characters' pasts, and twists you don’t see coming. Fans of his previous books will enjoy this one."
-Red Carpet Crash
"This book moves like a speeding bullet with, as always, an unexpected and explosive ending."
-NetGalley
"The killer's part of the story is creepy. Seriously . . . As with the previous series, Burton's dogs tend to steal the show."
-Gizmo's Reviews
"There's some real twists and turns." 4 Hearts
-Books of My Heart
The Second Grave (Book 2)
"An unputdownable book filled with nonstop action, great characters, and a fantastic setting. This should be on every mystery fan's nightstand."
-Andrew Gulli, Editor-in-Chief, The Strand Magazine
Listed as one of "Three strong novels with Minnesota ties to add to your list"
-Twin Cities Pioneer Press
"If you’re reading a book mixing cadaver dogs and crime, it’s probably by Jeff Burton . . . The story toggles between Crystal’s investigation and what happened decades earlier when the men planned and pulled off the bank robbery. Past and present come together smoothly in the story, in which the two dogs play a critical role."
-Twin Cities Pioneer Press
"A gripping addition to the mystery genre . . . His [Burton's] ability to create vivid and evocative settings, combined with his talent for developing multi-dimensional characters, is brilliant."
-Book Junkies Reviews
"It’s likely The Second Grave will be on my Best of 2025 List. Very likely."
-Kings River Life Magazine
Made one of Kings River Life Magazine's Staff Favorite Books of 2025
