The Iron Eagle Series

If someone you loved was brutally murdered, would a lifetime prison or even death penalty sentence (where the savage killer could remain for years unpunished) be enough punishment for the killer? The Iron Eagle doesn’t think so either. Meet the surprising vigilante handing out justice that truly fits the crime in this Los Angeles-based 30-novel series. For the killers who cross the Eagle’s path, there is no mercy. See justice delivered with exacting precision and follow along as even law enforcement’s top cops become fans of this unknown hero. Justice has, indeed, evolved, thanks to the Iron Eagle. The city of Los Angeles is no stranger to violence. It has both a colorful and grotesque history with it. Sheriff’s Homicide Detective Jim O’Brian and FBI Profiler Special Agent Steve Hoffman are also no strangers to the violence of the sprawling metropolis, but in the past decade something has changed. There’s a serial killer preying on other serial killers – some known by law enforcement, others well off radar. “The Iron Eagle,” a vigilante, extracts vengeance for the victims of Los Angeles’ serial killers. His methods are meticulous and his killings brutal. With each passing day, “The Iron Eagle” moves with impunity through the streets of Los Angeles in search of his prey. O’Brian and Hoffman create an elite task force with the sole purpose of catching “The Eagle” and bringing him to justice. But the deeper they delve, the more apparent it is that he may very well be one of their own. As the two men stare into the abyss of their search, the eyes of “The Iron Eagle” stare back.

The Midwest Book Review, November 14, 2014. “Evil and the Details” Book two, in the Iron Eagle crime novel series. "In this read we are taken to Los Angeles, where a serial killer is capturing young teenage boys and doing horrible things to them before he kills them. The entire city of protective agencies is alerted, from agents from the FBI to Special Agents from the Sheriff’s Office and even one called, The Iron Eagle, who battles evil his way and is not appreciated by the conventional law enforcers. Is there one lone killer or is something happening that is more than anyone expected? The Plot thickens. I really lost myself in this story. Yes, it is a bit gruesome but the author does a great job in getting you involved with what is happening and the different characters. I found the different characters to be well defined making them very real to life in the mind’s eye. It can be at times quiet morbid and sobering, sad and upsetting, yet it is that pull on the emotions that keeps you motivated to move on in hopes of an end. Throwing in ‘The Iron Eagle,’ I feel was a good move on the author’s part. I found myself cheering for him, even though he works outside of the law, his vengeance on evil was appreciated. I really enjoyed this read and am looking forward to the continued story. Well done, Mr. Teel, keep them coming." By, Shirley Priscilla Johnson, Senior Reviewer. The Midwest Book Review The Iron Eagle is back with a VENGEANCE!

“They pushed, and they pushed, and they...pushed; now they will pay with their lives.” From the Back: High school is hard, but for four seniors who have been bullied all of their lives, enough has now become more than enough. For years, they endured the wrath of their classmates, schoolyard beatings, and public and private ridicule with social media attacks from every direction. But all that is about to change as they’ve been pushed to the edge and then over, setting the stage for a mass murder plot of horrific proportions. As law enforcement struggles to piece together the crimes, the students have been able to work in relative anonymity through TOR and the deep web and are now ready to take their revenge on those who tormented them as outcasts. Inside Flap: The hanging body of Brian Donaldson, a well-known senior at Rosedo High School in the suburbs of Los Angeles, has been found under the bleachers of the football stadium. He was brutally murdered, his disemboweled body left hanging as a message to both schoolmates and law enforcement of something much larger and more dangerous. While captain of the football team and an all-around popular guy, Donaldson had a well-known dark side and the rap sheet to prove it. Sheriff Jim O’Brian and FBI Special Agent John Swenson unite as the cryptic messages point to a sinister plot – a plot against one dead senior and several of his bully buddies ¬– and a plot for revenge against the school as a whole. This is not a case that can be solved by Swenson and O’Brian alone. It will take the work and skills of the Iron Eagle if the lives of hundreds of students are to be saved.

Los Angeles is reeling after a partially thwarted terrorist plot left the city and county in ruins. Millions are dead and more are homeless thanks to “Rome Is Burning.” For FBI Special Agent John Swenson, aka “The Iron Eagle,” and Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim O’Brian, it was a bittersweet victory. The Eagle and his team of retired Marine Corp black operatives were only moderately successful in their mission, and now the full scope of a government conspiracy has been discovered by the men—one that could destroy not just Los Angeles but the nation. ‘Operation Red Alert’ was the secret code name to stop the 9/11 attacks that was halted by the government. A re-hatched, retooled plot to kill the President of the United States is underway along with the help of a terrorist mastermind, and potential destruction of a city and nation is imminent. The only people standing in the way are the Iron Eagle and his men—intent on stopping the attacks before they happen. From The Inside Flap: Despite the partial success of ‘Operation Rome Is Burning,’ the City of Los Angeles is once again in danger.

But this time it’s going to be different. The Iron Eagle and his men know the plot well in advance, but can they move fast enough to stop it before the City of Los Angeles and the nation are sent into a catastrophic tailspin that could end the Republic once and for all?

“No one is safe in Los Angeles. We can get to anyone, anywhere, at any time.” Back matter: When the 14-story Versailles Tower condominium complex collapsed, taking more than 800 residents with it, the LAPD had more than just a catastrophe on its hands. An anonymous terrorist group had forewarned a local Times reporter that a tragedy of great proportion was imminent, but they didn’t say why or demand anything...initially. As authorities work to identify victims, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and the FBI have a lack of leads and only a letter written in human blood to trace.

“I thought this was a mythical manner of torture.” Back Matter: Steven Black had two obsessions: books and Joanne Fontaine, the head librarian for Los Angeles County. While Fontaine was pleasant, she was also firm in her disinterest in dating.

When Steven’s brutalized body is found near the library entrance, law enforcement is drawn into an investigation of savage cruelty reminiscent of a mythological form of torture.

“You do know you’re talking about the damn pornography capital of the world, right?” Back matter: Ask a room full of people what the word “suburbia” brings to mind, and you’ll likely hear things like: peaceful, family-oriented, charming, and well groomed. But when a convicted pedophile ends up dead behind the local ice cream parlor, law enforcement has little to go on, especially since Los Angeles Sheriff Samantha Pritchard is still reeling over the loss of her soul mate, Maria. Nothing seems amiss, but behind the curtains of those sweet suburban houses lie secrets, dark, cruel and insidious, which stand in for block parties and neighborly gatherings. In a case unlike any the Iron Eagle has encountered, someone is extracting revenge...but how will that play with the Eagle’s own sense of justice?

“The fallen, the flag, the national anthem, and America have been disrespected. It ends now!” Back matter: On a cool Sunday morning at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Sentinels had taken the field. In an all-too-familiar sight, superstar wide receiver Golden Madden knelt to the jeers and boos of a waning crowd as the national anthem began. Madden’s previous antics included spitting on the color guard before games and yelling profanities as the anthem was sung. As the refrain echoed in the near empty stadium, a single shot pierced Madden’s helmet and the skulls of two of his kneeling teammates, starting a counterrevolution. While federal and state law enforcement officials investigate, FBI Deputy Director John Swenson, aka The Iron Eagle, finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse with an ethical twist. Should he stop the events from unfolding despite their aim to restore respect for God, Country, and the American flag?

While grieving for his son, a major in the United States Marine Corps killed in a black op the previous summer, he feels that the protests originally sparked by police brutality have become a free-for-all platform for players to say what they want when they want. With pressure from the league, the players’ unions, and others, he’s powerless to stop his team from spiraling out of control until one fateful Sunday when local police refuse to protect the players, and three of his athletes are gunned down on national television.

She underwent emergency surgery and was in the ICU at Northridge Hospital. Shortly after three a.m., Doctor Brian Cantor was making his rounds when he spotted a figure moving from Tamara’s room into an adjacent hall. Less than thirty seconds later, a code sounded, and Doctor Cantor found Tamara hemorrhaging and flatlining. He called a code, but there was no way to save her.
