Emma Victor is short of cash. Very short of cash. It is time to get a bigger, more major assignment. The kind that pays big time. The kind that involves violence.
That assignment comes when Victor's boss, lawyer Willie Rossini, is called on to help a blackmail victim who has managed to shoot a video of Rossini's client in an evening of fierce passion. Just how dirty are they prepared to play? And can Victor put a stop to them before the whole political climate of San Francisco is affected?

Gothic crime thriller waarin de hoofspersoon nu eens niet de speurneus maar de moordenaar is.
Fun and interesting easy read mystery novel. Includes Lesbian PI and lesbian main characters. I am not a msytery reader but this was a will researched and interesting read. I will be reading Ms. Wings other mystery novels.
