There Came Two Angels
by Julia Lieber, Alyson Publications
A certain conservative former Senator from North Carolina is discovered in a motel room with a dead naked young man, rumored to be his lover in the gay press. Loy Lombard and her partner Sam MacLean are hired to clear the senator and put the blame where it belongs, on the radical homosexual agenda. Too bad, because Loy is as big a dyke as you can find and she isn’t going to put any blame anywhere it doesn’t belong.
Loy and Sam are veteran sleuths, having honed their skills on the big city police force as homicide detectives. They dive into the mystery of the murder, namely, if the Senator did it, where is the murder weapon and what did he do with it, since he was caught (bloody) red handed. They discover connections to the gay press, the right wing conspiracy, the tobacco industry, and the gay rights lobby.
Loy can follow a trail so cold others don’t even know it’s there, and it’s fun watching her do it. Since no lesbian mystery is complete without a little lesbian romance, let me assure you that it’s there too. This was another fun read.
