Seller Description
1. A Tiger’s Heart : In this adventure, Canadian lesbian PI Caitlin Reece catches up with a couple of her high-school classmates, Jonna Rowan and Kirk Ratliffe. Jonna calls and begs Caitlin to meet her, saying she fears for her life. But Caitlin is met not by Jonna but by her 10-year-old daughter, Jory, who explains that Kirk, her father, murdered her mother in a motel room… Jory wants Caitlin to find and kill Kirk. The police, however, say that Jonna's body is not at the motel and that Jory's account has ``a lot of inconsistencies.'' Jory sticks resolutely to her story, but then, she also claims that she once saw a UFO…A row of scars on Jory's back, together with some digging into the recent past, indicate to Caitlin that neither Kirk nor Jonna qualifies as a model parent. With the help of Gray Ng (a psychic friend), Francis the Ferret (a computer database-cracker) and Lester (a photographer and general helper), she makes real headway on the case--until Jory herself disappears. Neither the writer’s political message nor her dip into spiritualism blunts the intensity of this effective mystery as Caitlin probes the lives of former acquaintances and chases through a rugged British Columbian winter. 2. A Rage Of Maidens: Clive Culhaine has hired Caitlin to help his troubled .young daughter, Andy. Several years ago Andy was primary witness to a sexual assault on her sister. In the court proceedings that followed, Caitlin, on the prosecuting team, was helpless in the face of the brief prison sentence given to Mal Dennison. Since then, the tragedy has caused the breakup of Andy's family. And now Dennison has been released from jail. Caitlin's own life has changed. Her long-standing tenants have moved away, she is recovering from an unresolved love affair. And her investigation of Dennison lays bare new dimensions in herself - and unsettling new demarcations in the people around her. In former lover Tonia, in friend Gray Ng, even unscrupulous Francis the Ferret seems altered. There is one certainty. Caitlin is no longer helpless to deal with Mal Dennison. And she had a weapon even more lethal than the .357 magnum she carries…her own, highly personal, very deadly rage… 3. Daughters Of Artemis: 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 … Reviews: “Douglas is a fine and thoughtful writer who has both entertainment and a highly charged, intensely problematic political agenda in her novels that make them a feast for mind and spirit ...” – Bay Area Reporter “Caitlin is no cardboard superhero. She's a literate adult who is not apologetic about being a woman or a detective. If you had a case, she's the professional you'd want on it.” – Jewelle Gomez, The Advocate **In excellent condition with covers, binding and pages intact. *** Combined shipping is available if you make more than one purchase.
