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

Casey Collins is a State Department specialist in the war on terror. En route to Berlin for an international conference, a crushing series of events force her into the field in pursuit of a rogue nuclear physicist with a supply of stolen plutonium bound for North Korea.

From twilight in the long-term parking lot at Dulles Airport to a sunlit afternoon in a Belarus orchard, the action winds breathlessly eastward as Casey Collins and her small band of unlikely cohorts struggle to contain a nuclear evil let loose when the Cold War ended.

A nonstop international thriller, East Past Warsaw is an "intricate yet realistic look at post-Cold War Europe." (Reader review)

A Macavity Award nominee acclaimed for her "sharp storytelling" (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell brings you an all-too-human heroine dealing with real-world problems. Buy East Past Warsaw and take a ride with Casey Collins.
