Editing clients publish first novel, ‘Bad JuJu'

Editing clients Karl Bort and Thekla Madison have published their first novel, “Bad JuJu in Cleveland.”

The crime story begins when four men are found brutally slain in an abandoned house on Cleveland’s east side, one with ties to City Hall and all marked with a mysterious symbol. Detective Nicholas Silvano is called to the case, but he finds this drug-deal-gone-wrong is anything but ordinary and the search for an elusive killer is on.

With FBI Agent James Reis creating roadblocks at every turn, Silvano teams up with DEA Agent Charley Goetz on a manhunt that takes them from Cleveland to the shady side of Florida, where anything can be had for a price. The stakes become higher when the killer makes it personal, forcing Nick to face feelings he’d been denying for so long.

About the Authors: Karl is a retired Cleveland police officer. Thekla is a former UW-River Falls classmate who worked with me on the student newspaper there.

The book is available for purchase in paperback or ebook online.
