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.

The detective set her mug aside and stretched out her long legs under her desk, a huge yawn escaping as she shook out her shoulders and the tension prickling needles through her muscles. Jackson sat across from her, head down, scribbling notes she was certain wouldn't make it into the final report. Because she was a bitch like that.
