Lambda Literary Award-winning author returns with a stunning mystery proving that Noir is the new black. A golden city of prosperity, energy, the exciting engine of the American Dream. Just underneath, though, is a dark city, with darker ambitions. This is the world of Cantor Gold, dapper art thief and smuggler, who has her own way of securing the rewards of the American Dream. In the conformist 1950s, when same-sex romance was illegal, Cantor decides that any Law that condemns her as a criminal just for her love of women is not a Law she owes any allegiance to. As an outlaw, she thrives earning fistfuls of cash and living life on her own terms. But someone wants to take it all away. Someone wants to rob Cantor of everything: her success in the underworld, her freedom, her life. Predators are out to destroy Cantor: the cops who violently raid the Green Door Club, Cantors favorite watering hole, where the lights are low and the women are willing; and worse, an unknown predator who threatens to destroy Cantors life, even destroy the lives of people close to her. Murder is one of the weapons in the hunters arsenal, involving Cantor in the dangerous fate of each corpse. Another is the taunting, threatening notes that turn up on the corpses or at Cantors door or at the door of people she visits. And then there are the phone calls and a disguised voice. Someone is invading every minute of Cantor Golds life.Native New Yorker Ann Aptakers Cantor Gold Crime series has been the recipient of Lambda Literary and Goldie Awards.
