The Coven

Roberta Parker was brutally and sadistically tortured to death. She was a lesbian and a masochist that wanted more and more pain because in her opinion it only improved her orgasms. It appeared that someone may have taken that to the ultimate extreme.

Julie Markos is a Pittsburgh Metro Police Lieutenant and the head of sex crimes. She may be the most beautiful and sexy woman in Pittsburgh. She is dating David Kirkpatrick, the Chief of Detectives. He asks her to investigate the death of Roberta Parker because he cannot trust Homicide. The Homicide Captain, a woman, has assigned a man to the case when Ms Parker was last seen in a lesbian S&M strip club. David knows that the lesbian suspects will not speak to a man, but they will speak to Julie. Also, the Homicide Captain is a member of the strip club.

Julie’s problem, she isn’t a lesbian, or even bisexual and she is not into S&M, but she agrees. Once undercover in the club she meets a lawyer, a shrink, the Homicide Captain and a ruthless billionaire dominatrix, any of which could be the killer.

Julie’s other problem is the law says if you are a suspect of a crime you do not have to speak to the police. Therefore Julie can only interview suspects with the suspects approval, giving the suspects the upper hand. These suspects are all lesbians and Julie is forced to play their games in order to solve the horrific murder of Roberta Parker. As for who the killer is, that comes as a complete surprise to Julie and everyone else.

This book is set in Pittsburgh, about fifteen to twenty years in the future from whenever you are reading this.
