Overview

Lauren Laurano is surely not the first gay P.I. in New York City, but she is in a class by herself. Smart, stylish, and self-determined, she lives with her longtime lover, Kip Adams, a therapist, in a Greenwich Village brownstone. Their lives together usually simmer along nicely--except when Lauren becomes obsessed with a case.

When an unlikely character named Boston Blackie hires Lauren Laurano to find out who killed his mother more than thirty-five years ago, Lauren learns that the murdered mom may not be actually dead.

Then again she might. To find out, Lauren goes toe-to-toe with a cast of actor wannabes. Using her uncanny knack for finding the truth, her computer bulletin board, and a little extra help from her friends in the theater world, Lauren plans to bring down the curtain on murder, revenge, and the greedy ghosts of the past.

But someone else hopes she takes a final deadly bow....
