Feisty, stubborn, emotionally defended, she spends a lot of her time hiding her better qualities behind a facade of hardball.  In doing so, she often sabotages herself, cutting her nose off to spite her face, pushing away those who try to help her.

His heart breaks for himself and his little girl as Diana spirals out of control following her mother’s death.

Snatched: What would you do if you discovered a dead body? Would you investigate? Try to solve the case before the police arrive? Would you prattle on about theories regarding the murder, realizing you know almost too much about it? Would you put the handsome detective off balance so that he then accuses you of being the murderer? All before 9AM? No… surely no one would do that? Clearly, you haven’t met Diana Hunter.  Stolen: A survivor. A fighter. A threat. When Vancouver’s elite convenes in the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel to celebrate and fund the new British Columbia Children’s Hospital, it is a night of free flowing champagne, high class regalia and more flash than a museum could house – until suddenly everyone realizes all their precious jewels and baubles are gone. In the space of one moment, the night turns from joy to confusion…. How did it happen? How were they all robbed, at once… without anyone seeing a thing? Chopped: Ten years have passed since Diana Hunter, once the youngest spook in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, was captured by the elusive professional assassin known only as “Surgeon.” It is two days before the anniversary of her ordeal, and Surgeon has claimed another victim. Can Diana and her partner, Detective Peter Hopkinson, outthink this brilliant killer, or will Surgeon’s brutal game continue unchecked?
