Books

Frederic Donner has published four books to date:  Zen and the Successful Horseplayer, A Broken Badge Healed?, White Cats Can Jump!, and To Die To Sleep Perchance To Dream.  

Donner’s first book was the well-received “Zen and the Successful Horseplayer.” He has been wagering on horses successfully for more than 25 years and has been able to incorporate his discipline as an FBI agent and utilization of a Zen-stylized approach to secure significant wins at the track.

He has also published a true story about his battle with surviving metastatatic brain cancer while contemplating whether (or how) his organization can best survive and succeed in a new era of law enforcement. Readers will find the metaphorical limits between personal cancer survival and complete FBI organizational restructure compelling and informative in “A Broken Badge Healed? The FBI, A Special Agent, and the Cancer Within.”

Crossing over to the Dark Side, Donner takes you on a thrilling, suspenseful and horrifying ride with his collection of fourteen tales in “White Cats Can Jump! But Black Cats Are Scarier On Halloween.” Jump on board for these imaginative short stories of intrigue, horror, humor and mystery.

In “To Die to Sleep Perchance to Dream” Donner aptly weaves a story of corruption, power and retribution against a backdrop of a South American drug cartel, fictionalizing his thrilling undercover missions as a Special Agent with the FBI.
