Cordelia Morgan Mystery Series (Lesbian research specialist cum assassin.)
The Woman Who Knew Too Much ( 1998)
"The Woman Who Knew Too Much is a riveting and well-crafted thriller that turned up in the "slush pile" at a small feminist press. The author offers a plot that mixes murder, water rights, environmental hazards, and designer drugs--including a synthetic testosterone with deadly side effects. The lesbian subtext is as unexplained as Jet's growing fascination with the local sheriff in charge of investigating Jas's death. And while Jet is the protagonist and central figure, it's Cordelia Morgan, a.k.a. Caroline Marcus, who stars in this first of a promised series." -- Jane Adams (Amazon.con)The Woman Who Rode to the Moon (1999)
"With her life in shambles after her career is destroyed by a friend's betrayal, J. S. Symkin, known as Sym, retreats to El Gato, a remote development in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Sym has come looking for peace, but discovers instead unexplained skeletons and an ancient, sacred site guarded by a mythical cougar and haunted by restless apparitions. Joined by hit artist-turned-sleuth Cordelia Morgan, Sym probes the mysteries of El Gato while exploring the nature of evil and the myriad shapes of justice." -- Amazon.comThe Woman Who Found Grace (2003) -- Finalist 2003 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Mystery
