Freddie O'Neal
Created by Catharine Dain (pseud. of Judith Garwood)

High-flying Reno private eye FREDDIE O'NEAL likes Keno, cowboy boots, her cat and her plane. She has her pilot's license and it usually doesn't take much arm-twisting to get her to use it. She appeared in a string of PBOs in the nineties.

Catherine Dain is the author of over a dozen mysteries. Besides the Freddie O'Neal series, twice nominated for a Shamus award by the Private Eye Writers of America, she writes a series about a New Age amateur sleuth, Mariana Morgan, and another featuring actress/detective Faith Cassidy. A professional tarot reader, Ms. Dain (well, actually Judith Garwood) lives in Ojai, California.
