Summary

Dory Quillin, nineteen years old, her white-blonde hair ruffled by the gentle breezes of a June evening, lies dead in the parking lot of a lesbian bar. Her bewildered silver-blue eyes stare beseechingly into the mind and soul of the woman who kneels beside her: LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield.

The investigation is far from a simple matter. Kate uncovers shocking facts about the brief life of the murdered young lesbian. She finds her road to the killer obstructed by Dory's uncooperative, judgmental parents, the waning interest of her own partner, and most frustrating of all, the open hostility of women who should be her allies—the lesbians who frequent the Nightwood Bar. Kate's emotional equilibrium is further disturbed by her powerful attraction to one of those women, the enigmatic Andrea Ross.

Who killed Dory Quillin? And why? Accompany Kate Delafield on her electrifying, emotional journey to the answer, an answer you will never forget.

Superb.

Gripping , disturbing, touching and brilliant. Truely fantasticly well written and narrated. I never read these as physical books but I am so excited and grateful they are now audiobooks. I feel like these are important stories, very well told and a snapshot into a time period, not so long ago. Can't wait to listen to the others.

Brilliant!

I remember reading this in paperback back in the late 1980's and, if I'm honest, I really enjoyed the audio version better. This took me back to when I was in my twenties and trying to find my place among the gay/lesbian community. Unfortunately, I never found that place.
Katherines characters and plots are fabulously real.
I truly recomend this book to any lesbian, regardless of age.

I AM PROUD TO BE ME!
