Kerrie’s Work
Critics have described Kerrie’s novels as “riveting, compelling and shocking” filled with “heart-stopping action” and at times “terrifying characters” “who will live in our thoughts for a long time to come.” Her 2007 non-fiction, true crime book entitled Running with the Devil: The True Story of ATF’s Infiltration of the Arizona Hells Angels earned her a 2008 Commissioner’s Medal for Superior Performance from the Kentucky Department of Corrections after she was a keynote speaker at the National Major Gang Task Force 14th Annual Conference.
Her true crime books, Running with the Devil: The True Story of the ATF’s Infiltration of the Hells Angels, (Lyons Press, 2007) won the USA News National Book Award for best True Crime in 2008 and Prodigal Father, Pagan Son: My Life Born Into Madness,(St. Martin’s, Winter, 2011) is a two-time winner of the USA News National Book Award for Best True Crime and Best Memoir).
