FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd confronts a Warsaw crime boss, a New York City bounty hunter, and a Homeland Security agent cowboying in the middle of the North Sea, among others.
She solves crimes ranging from human trafficking to health care fraud, illegal sports betting, nuclear smuggling, and more. Foiling devious plots from Silicon Valley to Ulan Bator, Dawna shuts down not only the FBI’s most wanted but any crook fool enough to mess with her family.
Eleven of these stories appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. The twelfth is available only in this collection. “Latin Groove” takes Dawna back to FBI basics—bank robbery—and her home court of Texas. She confronts a bad girl who’s sharp as a pistol and carrying one too.
“Boot Scoot” and “Texas Two-Step,” both nominated for Macavity best short story awards, are in this stellar collection.
A Macavity Award finalist acclaimed for “sharp storytelling” (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell brings you twelve short mysteries spanning more than a decade in the maverick agent’s career. Buy Run & Gun: A Dozen Tales of Girls with Guns and get to know her unique crime-fighting style.
