Boot Scoot: A Dawna Shepherd Short Story (FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd Mysteries, #5) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dawna Shepherd loves her family, working as an FBI Special Agent, and playing basketball.

She's celebrating Christmas in her home town when a bounty hunter pursues her college student brother home from Lubbock.

Certain that Fugitive Team Leader Tommy O'Brien is chasing the wrong quarry, Dawna stops him cold at the Shepherd front door.

But she knows O'Brien won't give up. And all her crime-fighter instincts are screaming that the bounty hunter is going to ruin this holiday for someone she loves.

Can law-abiding Dawna find a way to save Christmas?

Nominated by members of Mystery Readers International for the 2003 Macavity Award for best mystery short story, "Boot Scoot" shows a softer side to the hardnosed FBI agent who appears regularly in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine and whose past adventures are collected in Run & Gun: A Dozen Tales of Girls with Guns. Dawna plays a supporting role in three Casey Collins international thrillers, the most recent release being China Box.

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.
