Although a self-assured lesbian, London journalist Lindsay Gordon vacillates between supposed happiness with partner Cordelia and intermittent bliss with former lover Deborah. At the Fordham air base, while covering a violent clash between inhabitants of the women's peace camp and members of a local opposition group, Lindsay finds that police have charged Deborah with assault. When someone murders the alleged "victim," Deborah becomes the prime suspect. Consequently, the women ask Lindsay to investigate. McDermid (Crack Down, LJ 11/1/94) creates believable characters, full-bodied prose, and the usual lovelife complications. A good read.
