And who among her lovers, relatives, and friends is hiding crucial information about Lauren’s death? That’s what part-time P.I. Kristin Ashe must discover, all the while coping with her own demons, the heartbreak of her brother’s near-death, and her rocky relationship with beautiful lesbian activist Destiny Greaves.
