Retribution

Love is never easy, especially as a closeted lesbian with a successful career. It's even more difficult when you are a closeted lesbian with a penchant for murder. Detective Sergeant Kira Lang meets Molly Treacher at a high-end lesbian club in downtown Cleveland, and the two women fall hard for each other. It seems like a match made in heaven-until Kira is called to investigate a murder with possible personal connections. The victim was a father and husband; witnesses say he physically abused his wife and child during dinner, so Kira can't feel too bad for what's become of the guy. With the appearance of the FBI, however, her little restaurant murder turns into something much bigger. Worse, it may involve the newfound love of Kira's life. Agent Barry Truscott plants the seeds of doubt, but Kira's intellect waters the plant to full growth. Is it possible? Could Molly be a serial killer, hell-bent on getting revenge on her long-dead, abusive father? Kira has her doubts, but Truscott has been on Molly's trail for a long time; his extensive knowledge of Molly's life and crimes may sway Kira's opinions. Even so, if Molly is only murdering men who deserve it, does Kira want justice served? Or will her love for Molly put an end to Truscott's suspicions ... for good?
