To solve a grisly high-profile murder in the Everglades, a married South Florida detective-prosecutor must team with her lesbian ex, a former FBI profiler. As they infiltrate deeper into a powerful syndicate that abducts, trains, and sells high-end sex slaves, their investigation begins to look like a setup. With a dash of Southern Gothic sprinkled with humor, Blood Moon Burning braids together high stakes intrigue, moral and legal quandaries, and prickly domestic conflicts. When the murder points to serial abductions and a vigilante killing spree, the tone darkens and the pace accelerates as the two women skirt red herrings and draw dangerously close to the syndicate kingpin and his possible competitors. Incorporating literary, feminist, and philosophical elements, Blood Moon Burning offers readers an intricate whodunit full of sticky twists leading to a high-voltage showdown, intimately entwined with a poignant spin on the complexities-and dangers-of love and friendship. Includes a guide for bookclub and classroom discussion!
