    About this ebook

    Hoping to heal her broken heart, FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd takes a break from busting bad guys to vacation at SpyGirl Fantasy Camp.

    But the two Russian mobsters waiting for her aren't actors pretending they're bad. These goons plan to bust her ticker for good.

    A story that answers the simple question: Does a hardboiled FBI agent ever get to have fun?

    As a bonus, included with this story is "Hungarian Dance No. 5," the first published story featuring Dawna and her friend, ex-Secret Service Agent Ladyshimarray Harms.

    Diana Deverell

    Diana Deverell has published seven novels, a short fiction collection, and many short stories. Her latest project is a series of legal thrillers set in Spokane and featuring Nora Dockson, a lawyer who specializes in appeal of life imprisonment and death penalty sentences. The first, Help Me Nora, was released in July, 2014. The second, Right the Wrong, was released in March, 2015. The third book will be published in late 2015. For the latest update, visit Diana at www.dianadeverell.com 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. Diana is a member (and past board member) of the International Association of Crime Writers. She belongs to the American Women’s Club in Denmark and her short fiction has appeared in Good Works: Prose and Poetry by Ex-Pat Women in Denmark.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      PRAISE FOR DIANA DEVERELL’S THRILLERS

      Bitch Out of Hell, a political thriller featuring Bella Hinton

      Helluva read! I really enjoyed this. I hope there are more books coming. The characters are intriguing, Bella is intelligent and sassy, and the plot is entertaining. (Amazon reader review)

      Diana Deverell’s newest book could be a story on the six o’clock news - the outsourcing of America’s military functions, shady corporate dealings, the suspicious death of a whistleblowing board member, and a special prosecutor’s investigation. (iBooks reader review)

      . . . a delightfully humorous and suspenseful read with realistic characters . . . and the plot twists and weaves itself into a satisfying conclusion. For a fun thriller read, check this out. (Kings River Life review)

      Casey Collins international thrillers

      12 Drummers Drumming

      Chilling suspense and heated passion—A brilliant debut. (Barbara Parker, Edgar-finalist author of Suspicion of Innocence)

      Night on Fire

      Deverell’s solid second Casey Collins novel [has] engaging narrative, gripping mystery, and wily plot twists. (Publishers Weekly)

      East Past Warsaw

      . . . a tale that makes you pray it’s fiction. (S.E. Warwick, mystery reviewer)

      China Box

      an intricate chess match of espionage, international wheeling-dealing, and love plays out in Washington and Silicon Valley. (Amazon reader review)

      Nora Dockson legal thrillers

      A great character, a great series—I highly recommend it to people. (Stephen Campbell, CrimeFiction.FM)

      Help Me Nora is a compelling gritty novel. I could not put it down and found the legal background fascinating. (Goodreads review)

      The series is great; it’s got the theme of the hard scrabble up-from-poverty Nora doing her battle of wits against a scheming, social-climbing assistant attorney general, laced with tons of good detective work. (Amazon reader review)

      Deverell has a gift that grabs the reader so one cares about what happens to every character in the story. Once one starts Nora’s clear sighted and brilliant pursuit of justice it’s hard to put the book down! (Amazon reader review)

      Shaken, Not Stirred

      by Diana Deverell

      1

      At four o’clock on Saturday afternoon, FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd finally understood.

      Two Russian mobsters had secretly engineered her vacation at SpyGirl Fantasy Camp so that they could kill her.

      Until that moment, she hadn’t guessed she was targeted for execution. She’d blamed the two near-death experiences earlier in the week on her poor physical condition and dull wits.

      On Tuesday, while firing her weapon from a moving vehicle during a mock car chase across Baja California, her door had whipped open and her seatbelt torn loose. Only quick reflexes kept
