Of White Snakes and Misshaped Owls
Debra Hyde
A dead body in a back
alley means little tothe rough streets of 1880s New York City—until
Charlotte Olmes, woman detective, steps onto the scene. Crime-solving on
behalf of her female clients, Olmes eschews decorum and ventures into
places forbidden to the fairer sex, sleuthing after clues hidden,
elusive, and often distasteful.
When the exotic Miss Tam pleads
with Charlotte to find the man to whom she's secretly married, Charlotte
ventures into the dark and dangerous crannies of the city with her
partner and passionate lover, Joanna Wilson, at her side. Soon, what
appeared to be the random misfortune born of Chinatown's opium dens
reveals itself as a vicious gang-related murder—and Olmes and Wilson
find themselves wedged between the ethnic and political forces that
collide where Chinatown borders the Bowery.
