Description
Meet Angel—smart, willful, a lover of animals. She is also one of the Cartel del Noreste's most lethal hitters, but this time she has met her match. His name is Dr. Ernest L. Girard and he’s a man who has everything—upbringing, looks, gifted surgical skills. He is also an admitted drug user, gambler, and the prime suspect in the largest medical malpractice scam ever investigated in California.
Girard is about to get lucky, and rich. His practice, Hurston Neurological Institute, is being bought out by a German medical conglomerate led by a profit-hungry CEO with neo-Nazi tendencies. But when a fellow party-hound is busted for cocaine possession and turns state’s evidence against Girard, Angel is hired to get rid of the good doctor. That is until her best-laid plans spin crazily out of control and our huntress becomes the hunted.

Asesina is fascinating! Highly recommended!! I couldn't put this book down, it's a wonderful binge read. So much suspense and so many awesome story lines. Mr. Keffeler has a phenomenal gift for detail. Angel and the other main characters came so much to life that I'm hoping the author will arrange for us to all have cocktails soon. Gratifying entertainment with a magnificent ending. Bravo!

Binge-read this debut thriller and it was excellent. Where to begin? Angel, the asesina, is a cutting-edge character that the author has developed brilliantly. A loner--it's all her--she's on the move from Chapter One. Dr. Ernie Girard is a wild-ride neurosurgeon that one weirdly begins to like as the novel progresses; and the author's use of California on Medicare for All is incredibly revealing. Good stuff. Stick with the different plot lines--they all come together in Part Two of the book--and the ending has a nice payoff.

More 4.5 out of 5 stars. Surprisingly strong debut novel that's very contemporary and well-written. Keffeler has done his research; his descriptions of the Chihuahuan Desert and Los Angeles are vivid, accurate and fascinating. Nice to see the nuanced development of a more modern-day female assassin in Angel, which will attract a younger readership. I enjoyed the entire cast of characters--if a bit eclectic. The parallel narratives make for a more intelligent read that will challenge the readers, but Keffeler ties everything together nicely in the mid-part of the book. I will recommend buying this novel for my library's collection.
