Five Female Sleuths

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Five different women—a CPA, a lawyer, an internet service provider, a bookstore owner, and a crime scene investigator—find themselves in the middle of crimes, crimes so personal that they threaten the women’s lives. Stories included are Edgar nominees “Cowboy Grace” and “Spinning,” Shamus nominee “Discovery,” and two stories considered among the best in their year of publication, “Patriotic Gestures,” and “Jury Duty.”
