Produktbeschreibung

Where do you go when your spirit dies and you learn your best isn't good enough?

Fifteen years ago, Casey Collins's Polish lover was murdered and she lost heart for the war against terror. After 9/11, the State Department specialist knew she'd also lost her touch.

She exiled herself to tiny US embassies far from Washington, doing routine admin work that numbs her. The highlight of her day is happy hour. Nothing gets between her and her five o'clock gin and tonic.

Except the ancient spymaster limping into the American Club of Dhaka, waving his cane in her face, and telling her that her godson is falling into a Chinese honey trap.

Casey's made it clear that she won't try again to save the world.

But she's loved Woody Hinton from the moment he was born thirty years ago.

She can't deny she's the right woman for the job.

Woody's ruining his life in exactly the same way she ruined hers.

Can she stop him before it's too late?

A Macavity Award nominee acclaimed for her "sharp story telling" (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell brings her all-too-human heroine Casey Collins back to the US and into action as "an intricate chess match of espionage, international wheeling-dealing, and love plays out in Washington and Silicon Valley."

Diana made her debut as a novelist in 1998 with a series of international thrillers featuring State Department counterterrorist analyst Kathryn "Casey" Collins: 12 Drummers Drumming, Night on Fire, and East Past Warsaw. The three novels are also available in a single ebook, The Casey Collins Trilogy. Diana's short story, "Warm Bodies in a Cold War", originally published in 1996 under a different title, introduced Casey to the readership of the Foreign Service Journal. The prequel No Place for an Honest Woman expanded on Casey's early career. The story and all four thrillers are now available as individual ebooks.

In 2000, Diana's short fiction starring FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd started making regular appearances in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Her mystery collection, Run & Gun: A Dozen Tales of Girls with Guns includes eleven Dawna Shepherd stories first published by Alfred Hitchcock, plus all-new "Latin Groove". Both the collection and "In Plain Sight," her 2013 mystery, are available in e-editions. Dawna's latest adventure, "Blown," appeared in the Kobo Special Edition of Pulse Pounders, the Januaury 2015 issue of Fiction River anthology.

In 2012, Diana released her comic mystery novel, Murder, Ken Kesey, and Me as an ebook.

Other digital editions include "Heart Failure", a short story set on the day Jim Morrison died, written to order for a publisher of textbooks for Danish teens learning English.
