"""Ken Abell continues to excel in weaving storylines that take quirky and/or fascinating plot intrigues for a cast of unforgettable and believable characters. His descriptive prose has a flair that is oft-times captivating. He consistently paints word pictures that are vivid and thought provoking. To refer to Risky Chances as simply a page-turner would be an epic understatement."" --William D. Hastings, author of Behind Prison Walls ""Once again Ken Abell delivers a convincing mystery populated by complex characters who possess an authenticity that is masterful. His portrait of Charley Delgado is compelling, and at some junctures, rather frightening. When I finished Risky Chances, there was a persistent curiosity as to the fate of Cody Fralick. I eagerly await the next installment of The Beadle Files."" --S. G. Wyant, an aficionado of mysteries"
