The Jack Keller series starts with The Devil’s Right Hand, which introduces Keller as a bail enforcement agent tracking down a pair of brothers who skipped court. What should be a routine job turns deadly, and Keller’s military background becomes both an asset and a liability as the situation escalates.
Over six books, Keller takes on increasingly dangerous jobs while grappling with his own demons. The North Carolina setting gives the series a gritty Southern noir feel, and Rhoades writes action scenes with real punch. Keller is not a polished hero; he is a man doing rough work in rough places, and the books are better for it.
