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 slipped through the darkness, heading for the body, watching with trepidation as Kinsey exited the van and fell to her knees next to Jordan's charred remains. Foster emerged into the light of the van's headlights, his own gun still out, though when Gerri holstered he followed suit.


"How the hell did I let you insane women convince me to watch a witness be murdered and not do a thing to stop it?" Foster appeared shaken, badly shaken as he stared at the still smoldering remains.


She licked her lips, thinking of barbeque. "Ray. Is he really dead this time?"


The medical examiner shrugged while Kinsey stared up at her with puppy-dog eyes.


Gerri groaned, exhaled. And had a thought. "Wait. Why did he mention fire at all? He never once talked about drowning or falling or being buried alive. The only thing he brought up was fire."


The blonde sniffed. "Probably because he knew it would be fatal?"
