Night Songs — Penny Mickelbury

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.
