Disillusioned with her real estate career and life in general, lesbian Lauren Vellequette follows her dream of venturing into private investigation. She cracks cases with the help of Rollie Austin, a 65-year-old seasoned private eye with a love for surveillance gadgets, and Sasha Fuller, a 17-year-old intern who introduces new employment demands on a daily basis. Together, the three women spend as much time propping each other up as they do unraveling mysteries. But they need to get to the bottom of several compelling questions: Who is the hit-and-run driver who killed an idealistic young woman as she jogged along a parkway in Denver, Colorado? What is the real story behind the alleged longest hole in one in U.S. golf history? Why is inventory disappearing from a kitchen contractor's warehouse? And most important of all, how will Lauren answer her own deadly question? Find out in this quick-paced, engaging, and humorous novel by two-time Lambda Literary Awards finalist Jennifer L. Jordan. This is book #1 in Jordan's new Lauren Vellequette Mystery Series. Show more
