Chase Dagger Mysteries Books
The Good Die Twice, now in paperback, combines mystery with an element of fantasy. Chase Dagger has a knack for attracting cases that more resemble the X-Files than Colombo. To handle these unusual cases requires unusual assistants. Einstein is a scarlet macaw with a photographic memory. Sara, Dagger's young assistant, is a shape-shifter. Together they are either the driving force behind Dagger Investigations or they are going to drive Dagger crazy.
A series of gruesome murders leads Chase Dagger to a suspect not quite human. The second in a series that blends mystery with a dash of fantasy and horror.
Third book in the Chase Dagger Series -- Lee Driver’s strength is her ability to create characters with unbelievable talents and make them believable. Readers are drawn to the captivating Sara, a shapeshifter whose talents go beyond the realm of human, and into the life of Chase Dagger, a detective whose past is so dark it’s pitch black. In the Unseen, Dagger is pulled into several cases that are linked by the most bizarre common denominator: None of the surveillance cameras reveals the assailant. Sergeant Padre Martinez believes the assailant is an old nemesis, a computer savvy ex-con who has manipulated cameras in the past. When the body of a research scientist and his wife are discovered, things get complicated. Not only are the ex-con’s prints found in the scientist’s home, but the deaths also attract the interest of the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Department of Defense. Exactly what was the scientist working on and what connection does he have to the other cases? Are the crimes really the skill of a high-tech genius or is there something more sinister at work? Just when the evidence points strongly to Padre’s number one suspect, Padre is accused of planting the evidence and removed from the investigation. Enter Chase Dagger. Unusual cases require unusual detectives. Whether it’s solving the case of a woman who is murdered five years after her death (The Good Die Twice) or chasing after a suspect not quite human (Full Moon-Bloody Moon), Dagger has his hands full while staying two steps ahead of his mysterious past.

The answer lies in a series of numbers which triggers Dagger's memory and leads him to a remote city...one mile below the surface, technologically advanced yet abandoned. Or is it? The fourth book in the Chase Dagger series combines mystery with a dash of sci-fi. "Shapeshifters are the stuff of high fantasy but somehow Driver keeps things firmly in the real world." --Booklist
