A Caitlin Reece Mystery, Book 3 – It’s not enough that the so-called Full Moon Rapist is prowling the streets of Victoria, BC. Sean Macklin has just been paroled. This particular man, the personification of everything Caitlin holds evil, is the reason she left the Crown Prosecutor’s office years ago to ply her lonely and demanding profession.

The release of Macklin, who has sworn vengeance on his victim and on Caitlin herself, coincides with Caitlin’s newest case: to find Jess, heir to a trust fund, who has secreted herself within a women’s commune. Led to the commune by magnetic Diana McNeil, Caitlin discovers the Daughters of Artemis—women bonded together with an agenda that presents a profound moral dilemma for Caitlin. Falling under the spell of the alluring Diana, vulnerable as never before, facing the menace of Sean Macklin, Caitlin must be strong as never before. Lives depend on it …

Douglas’s debut novel in 1987 began the six part Caitlin Reece series. The second novel, Ninth Life, won a Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Mystery.
