Three days before Christmas, 2000, and FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd’s in Warsaw, bodyguarding a key female witness in the trial of ruthless but runty crime boss Mike the Midget.

The Polish gangster wants his ex-girlfriend Basia dead before she can testify and ruin his holiday. Dawna has to stay one step ahead of the local mafioski.

Dawna puts the six-foot-five inch two-hundred-and-thirty-pound woman in Kevlar and size seventeen hightops and fakes a play to confuse the crooks. Can her scheme work in a crazy adolescent country prone to bizarre klutziness?

Will Basia make it safely in and out of court? Or will the only thing under her Christmas tree be an extra-large coffin?

A Macavity Award finalist acclaimed for “sharp storytelling” (Publishers Weekly) in her international thriller series, Diana Deverell brings you an exciting short mystery. Buy “Polonaise” now and take a holiday in Poland!
