    About this ebook

    FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd wants to know why—and how—an unknown hacker is cyber-stalking an obscure software engineer in the Bay Area.

    Hacking's not Dawna's specialty.

    But her sister Bettijean is the engineer whose life and livelihood are on the line.

    And nobody messes with Dawna's family.

    She'll use every trick in her FBI book to find who's harming Bettijean.

    Even so, can a low-tech Texan hope to prevail in Silicon Valley?

    A Derringer and Macavity Award finalist acclaimed for "sharp storytelling" (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell brings you a story that puts Dawna in direct conflict with the princes of high-tech who rule Silicon Valley.

    Buy "Silicon Valley Tango: A Dawna Shepherd Short Story" and enjoy an epic battle fought by Dawna-the-jock in nerddom.

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.
