When transsexual starlet Aisling is murdered, Detective Geraldine Meyers is assigned the case. With help from medical examiner Dr. Rachel Hunter, Gerri realizes this is no ordinary killing. While she might not want to call in over-eager anthropologist Dr. Kinsey DanAllart, the detective is forced to trust her friend's expertise in symbology, even though doing so means admitting "weird" things might be happening in Silver City. As the three friends unravel the mystery of the dancer's death, one thing is made absolutely apparent--something isn't right in their new hometown. And someone is doing everything they can to make sure the truth doesn't come out.

In Silver City, sometimes friendship can be murder.

Gerri let Patrick walk, Natalie supporting him as the two descended the stairs under the watchful and apologetic eyes of Officer Mills. While they alibied each other out, Gerri couldn't help but get the feeling there was more to their story. She'd liked to have pushed Patrick harder, but without the watchful girlfriend hanging around. Instead, she'd have him brought into the precinct and interrogate him there.


Let them have their moment. If the two of them were involved in the deaths of his parents, Gerri would find out. But her gut instinct, the part of her that often warned her if someone was lying, didn't give her the impression Patrick was involved. Not that she trusted it to do her job for her. To the contrary. But every little bit helped when she was trailing a murderer.
