Angel

Our asesina is a “lone wolf” killer who is completely independent and totally unafraid. She’s an animal lover, environmentalist and dedicated daughter to her mother and stepfather . . . and a wonderful mom to a pair of prima donna cats. But she’s also quite adept with a blade.

“It was a nice change to follow the story of a female assassin who is intelligent, nimble, and skilled.” — Barbara Roth, author, watercolorist.

“I appreciate being in the hands of an author who presents believable characters . . . a female assassin was the perfect twist.” — Starr Sanders, novelist.

Dr. Ernie Girard

A handsome, gifted L.A. neurosurgeon who’s also a drug addict, womanizer and knee-deep in gambling debts. Despite his wealthy upbringing, Girard’s street smarts get him into and out of trouble, guaranteeing the reader will develop a hate/love relationship with Dr. Ernie.

“Keffeler weaves a complex network of attorneys, gangsters, medical practitioners and white collar criminals seeking to either bring down Girard or get a piece of his action.” — Amazon’s BestThrillers.

“The sarcastic wit of Dr. Ernest Girard caught me off guard and laughing out loud on several occasions.” — Jeff Young, book critic, Southern Oregon Weekly

Blas Mondragon

Juárez-based investigator for the Assistant Attorney General of Mexico, Mondragon is smart, relentless, incorruptible and capable of simmering ferocity. He’s a poet who sports a throwback ponytail, leather bomber jacket, and wears Tony Lama boots. But he is also an intellectual who never gives up on a case . . . and now he’s after the asesina.

“Absolutely loved this character. Dogged, honest, clever and one hip dude. Keffeler did a great job of developing Mondragon as a worthy adversary in hunting down Angel. Look forward to his next novel.” — Ken Wilson, social media critic.
