Then ... murder shatters the vacation bliss. For among the people brushing up against Ginny and Naomi for these few sensual days is a ruthless killer.

Chicago is steamy and unpleasant this summer. Vacation time is here and Naomi drags Ginny off to Provincetown on Cape Cod. Sex is hot for the asking, the music is wild and cruising hasn't gone out of style. Lavender House is the "in" bread and breakfast spot for vacationing lesbians looking for some thrills in their life. While Ginny roams from bed to bed trying to decide about her relationship with her old lover, Naomi encounters her first love. Ginny takes a jog and while out stumbles upon the dead body of one of Lavender's guests, Joan. Once again Ginny finds herself as a potential suspect for murder. Joan is a well known lesbian activist and columnist whose acid journalism has earned her many enemies. Ginny was her last night stand (or was she?) before her murder. Can Ginny get herself out of this mess when the murderer could be anyone at the house as well as those on the outside who have every right to have wanted Joan dead? This is the second of the series of A Virginia Kelly Mystery that will keep you guessing.
