The shoal of time

the long version

Detective and mystery stories. Gay & Lesbian. Michele "Micky" Knight, a New Orleans PI, meets an out-of-town team of investigators who are working a human trafficking case. They want someone local to show them around. It sounds easy, and a woman with smiling green eyes is asking. But it stays easy if Micky stops asking questions and she's never been good at that. What starts out as a tourist tour of the underside of New Orleans turns into a risky game of cat mouse, the twists even further as Micky is caught between the good guys and the bad guys, each willing to do whatever it takes including getting rid of an inconvenient PI to achieve their ends. Who can she trust? And who's trying to kill her?
