Keeping Secrets (Book #1): Someone is murdering wealthy, married–and deeply closeted gay people in their own automobiles while parked in deserted parking lots in Washington, DC. Someone the victims allowed into their cars late at night. Someone who knows their most guarded and protected secret. Five murders so far on the same day of the month.
Police Lieutenant Gianna Maglione, head of the DC Police Department’s Hate Crimes Unit, has a month to find and stop the killer or she’ll find Body #6. But she has another problem in ace newspaper reporter Mimi Patterson, who thinks the public, especially the gay public, has a right to know that a serial killer is on the prowl.
Until Mimi, Gianna had managed to keep the murders a secret. A newspaper story would create a sensation and most likely drive the killer underground. They clash, the reporter and the cop, but only in public. Their private attraction to each other is as dangerous to them as, well, as a serial killer. Secrets=Death, and almost everybody has at least one. Including cops and reporters.
Night Songs (Book #2): From one alley to the next in the seamy underside of our nation’s capitol, the city’s top reporter, Mimi Patterson investigates the virtual disappearance of two prostitutes her sources on a potentially huge stroy. Her partner, Lt. Gianna Maglione, head of the city’s Hate Crime Unis is fighting mad. Women are being murdered. Just because they are prostitutes, doesn’t mean it isn’t a hate crime. As the police department relegates the gruesome murders to low priority, Mimi and Gianna once again find themselves racing the clock and each other’s professions toward truth and danger.
Touted as a follow-on to the sensational insder look at Keeping Secrets Washington, D.C., Night Songs was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award when first released. In this rerelease, we again hang on as Mickelbury wends her way from headline news to the pages of another Mimi/Gianna Mystery.
Love Notes (Book #3): We live in a youth-oriented culture, and nobody knows that better than a 50-something year old woman looking for love. Despite the commercials featuring grey-haired characters, film and television still cast 30-year old women as the love interests of 60-year old men… and 60-year old women are hard to find on television– unless a witch or a bag lady is called for. So, many 50-something women looking for what they see as a last chance at love have taken to the internet. And if she is from a small town, is financially secure and a bit adventurous and willing to re-locate, that love is waiting for her in Washington, D.C.! Or is it?
Lured not really to D.C. but to its Maryland and Virginia suburbs, and then to the lesbian bars where they are total strangers, the lonely, confused women do what lonely, confused people everywhere do: Talk to the bartender. But unlike bartenders everywhere else, the lesbian behind the bar is likely to notice the newly-arrived stranger–and to notice when she vanishes. And when it happens more than once, the bartender will alert her friend Lt. Gianna Maglione, head of the D.C. Police Department’s Hate Crimes Unit.
Missing lesbians? Investigative newspaper reporter Mimi Patterson hears the same story from friends, but more than a story about missing lesbians–who happen to be very well-to-do and professionally accomplished–Mimi senses another story: What’s wrong with our culture that we so easily side-line any woman over 50? And, Mimi wants to know, what’s wrong with smart, talented over-50 women that they’d put themselves in danger for one last chance at love?
