Tangled and Dark

Brenda Strange is back. A Private Investigator in Tampa, Florida, Brenda isn't your ordinary private eye. This time, she's got the living and the dead wanting a piece of the action. Proving that a death ruled as an accidental drowning was actually murder gets a bit more complicated than Brenda Strange bargained for. It's Christmas time in Florida but the heat's up full blast. Brenda is investigating the death of Paula Drakes, a local businesswoman and a leader in the lesbian community. When one of Brenda's suspects, Joan Davis, ends up dead, the path of her investigation puts her face to face with not one, but two possible killers -- one diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder and violent enough to commit murder. Along the way, her job becomes more bizarre when her suspects start getting spooked by a fishy apparition that leaves wet footprints behind. Brenda has to catch up with the killers before something that goes bump in the night bumps them off. And if this problem isn't enough, Brenda has to patch up the relationship with her mother and reconcile with her lover...

From the Publisher

Bella is excited to bring you Patty G. Henderson's highly acclaimed mystery series!

About the Author

Patty G. Henderson grew up reading Edgar Allan Poe and flipping through the pages of her favorite comic books like Wonder Woman, Batman and The Flash. Batman appealed to her interest in the dark side of crime fighting. Her Brenda Strange mystery series offers up a wicked blend, incorporating the classic private eye novel and the sinister supernatural/horror elements of a good scary book. Nothing like it is being published in lesbian fiction today. Reading one of Patty’s darkly chilling mysteries, it’s hard to imagine that she’s a Florida native. Yes, that’s right – Florida. Where the sun can bake your skin in 30 minutes, no pre-heating necessary, and winter is only 2 months long. Of course, that doesn’t mean that evil and crime don’t lurk in the long shadows of the Florida heat. But don’t worry, Patty G. Henderson is at this moment, sitting in front of her computer in a darkened room, punching keys and spilling forth words that will send Brenda Strange into those shadows to fight off what we only dare to read about.
