Everything You Have Is Mine

Private investigator Lauren Laurano makes her funny and suspenseful debut as a sleuth who must take on a rapist, a killer, a tangle of family relationships, her own fears, and New York City itself in order to solve several murders. For the past eleven years she's lived in Greenwich Village with beautiful, warmhearted psychotherapist, Kip Adams; they bicker playfully and enjoy the urbane company of friends and heady, offbeat Village life. Lovely, shy Lake Huron has been raped and refuses to talk to the police. But before she can tell Lauren everything she's found dead, leaving Lauren to decipher a 21st-century clue and a dysfunctional family tree that a good, stiff wind could blow to bits. The closer Lauren gets to the truth, the more her own life is endangered.

I'll Be Leaving You Always

Outside of Lauren's relationship with her lover, Kip, Megan is her oldest and dearest friend. But when Megan is held up in her Greenwich Village jewelry store and then killed, Lauren soon discovers how little she knew of Megan's life. Hired by one of Megan's ex-husbands to investigate, Lauren takes a microscope to a life she thought she knew intimately and finds a secret world of deception and danger. As Lauren moves closer to the solution to Megan's murder, she uncovers some unpleasant truths about herself - and realizes how much she needs a little help from her friends.

My Sweet Untraceable You

America's favorite lesbian detective returns - and uses her New York City savvy to crack an old small-town murder mystery that's still affecting lives thirty years later. Hip, computer literate, and chocoholic, Lauren Laurano breaks the P.I. stereotype. And her new case breaks records for perplexity. Boston Blackie hires Lauren to find out what really happened to his mother, who reportedly died almost forty years before. What appears to be simply a case of a hurt inner child and a cold trail turns into a complex exploration of the dark secrets that haunt families and small towns. Was Boston Blackie's mother murdered, as he believes? Or was the obituary describing her death in a car accident accurate? Or did she, as others claim, run off to Hollywood? After unearthing puzzles of identity and paternity, Lauren is left with an increasing number of questions but few answers. Pursuing a series of murky clues, she divides her time between upstate New York, where the missing woman's family and friends run her in circles, and the home she shares with her lover, Kip, in Greenwich Village, where a crew is intrusively filming a movie based on her adventures. Lauren knows she's getting close to the truth when the danger - and a new string of murders - hit her turf and threaten her life. The upshot is pulse-quickening excitement as Lauren's neighborhood know-how and resources kick into action.

Let's Face The Music and Die

Witty, hip, pretty, and gay, Lauren Laurano isn't your typical private detective. She shares an apartment with Kip, her longtime lover, in New York's Greenwich Village, where they are surrounded by a close-knit group of friends. But Lauren and Kip's relationship has hit a rough patch, and when Kip goes out of town for a month-long conference, Lauren's life gets complicated by a new case, a new love interest, and a menace from her past. Lauren's friend Elissa is in trouble. Her elderly aunt has been found brutally stabbed to death, and much to Elissa's dismay, the police suspect she's the killer. Elissa's situation looks dire: she's without an alibi and in line to inherit a large sum of money. Undaunted, Lauren takes the case, using her unique combination of street-savvy detecting and electronic know-how to find the real killer. Tapping into the Internet for clues, Lauren gets more than she bargained for. First on-line, then in person, she meets Alex, a young woman to whom she is powerfully attracted. As the investigation grows more complex, Lauren becomes more and more distracted by thoughts of Alex and guilt about Kip. And just as Lauren thinks she has her hands full, one of her dearest friends is hospitalized and Lauren begins receiving death threats herself.
