About this ebook
FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd goes undercover to get close to a crook who's been defrauding auto insurance companies for two decades.
A confidential informant ratted out aging Clayton D. Cooper. Nailed him as ringleader of a major northern Virginia gang.
Yet sophisticated FBI data mining programs detect no sign of Cooper's criminal activities.
To learn how Cooper evades the software, Dawna has to convince Cooper she's as dirty as he is.
If she succeeds, will he ask her to ride in the multiply-insured "nail" car when Cooper's "hammer" car crashes into it?
Will she survive to file the bogus medical claims that are part of the scam?
And will her injuries be faked or real?
A Derringer and Macavity Award finalist acclaimed for "sharp storytelling" (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell brings Dawna to the dangerous side of criminal investigation.

PRAISE FOR DIANA DEVERELL’S FICTION
Nora Dockson legal thrillers
Lay Bare the Lie, the sixth and newest Nora Dockson legal thriller, tops all the others in so many ways. There’s a gripping I-didn’t-see-that-coming plot, the relationships among the continuing characters are evolving, and the descriptions of Oregon and Washington are wonderful.
(IBooks reader review)
Help Me Nora is a compelling gritty novel. I could not put it down and found the legal background fascinating.
(Goodreads review)
A great character, a great series—I highly recommend it to people.
(Stephen Campbell, CrimeFiction.FM)
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)
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)
* * *
Bitch Out of Hell 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 of Bitch Out of Hell)
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)
. . . 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.
