I figured I ought to follow up on my first post about the major characters and fill in a little info about the minor characters. It's kind of hard to decide whether they're major or minor characters in the first book because lots of characters get lots of "screen time" (for lack of better phrase).
Daniel - Daniel is...well, he's a mystery. He's a man who is quiet about most of his past. He works as the lead lab tech and there is almost nothing this man cannot do. He's a good friend to Ali and is dating Ali's friend/Elmer's sister by the end of the book, much to Elmer's displeasure. Daniel is a man that many people seem to owe favors. He knows people all over different parts of the government - state and federal (mostly federal). The prevailing part about him is wondering who the hell he is, because no one on Ali's team, nor the lab techs, seem to know anything about his prior work history.
Dr. James Flannigan - Affectionately known as Elmer (Ali's nickname). He's the Medical Examiner that is usually teamed up with Ali. He's insightful, knowledgeable, and a bit stuffy compared to everyone else. He frequently refers to Ali by her rank rather than first name. He means well, occasionally teases her, and is protective and attracted to Ali. They both seem to acknowledge the attraction but also don't really act on it. Think about Booth and Brennan on the show "Bones" before they started the dating/marriage thing. His sister is Chelsea, a baker on the other side of the state and is good friends with Ali and Carrie
Blaze - Richard Wilbur Miller, legally. President of The Saints, a particularly well-known, rather vicious biker gang that happens to be headquartered outside Abernathy's city limits. Blaze is cunning, perceptive, charming, and brutal. He presents a charming facade but underneath is a brutal man who will do anything and everything to protect what he perceives as his. He has the hots for Ali and ignores the fact that she has nothing but disdain for him.
Work calls; I have a pile of work on my desk to get through today.
Signing off,
Kate
