    About this ebook

    Life dropped teenage Toby Nielsen cold turkey into a Danish school. On day two of this adventure, he ends up on a city bus speeding away from his classmates and the place he lives. He's got no ticket, no clue where he's headed, and no taxi fare.

    His gift of gab works only in English. Clever and silver-tongued, he ruled his Oregon school. But here, he can't talk people into letting him do as he pleases. He can't talk himself out of trouble when he gets caught.

    A problem because Copenhagen is beyond cool and he wants everything it offers. Toby has to find a way to get over. His own way. Until he owns this place. And he has to start now.

    Because nobody's born a great con artist. You have to make yourself into one.

    A Macavity Award nominee acclaimed for "sharp storytelling" (Publishers Weekly) in her international thriller series, Diana Deverell brings you a humorous tale of teenage life. Buy it today and enjoy Toby Nielsen's first published adventure in an international capital.

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.

      Praise for Diana Deverell’s thriller series

      Bitch Out of Hell, the new 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)

      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)

      Casey Collins international thrillers

      12 Drummers Drumming

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