Night Songs: A Gianna Maglione Mystery

Police Lt. Gianna Maglione, who heads the Hate Crimes Unit in Washington, D.C., insists that a series of hooker murders belongs to her department: someone killed these women just for being women. Her lover, on the other hand, investigates the cases because she wants a good story for her newspaper. Since the two women have collided before in the course of work (Keeping Secrets, Naiad Pr., 1994), the conflicts arising from their parallel pursuits come as no surprise. Occasional grandstanding and amateurish passages weaken the diverse cast, compassionate protagonist, and realistic surrounds. Wait for demand.
