Product Description

Product Description

After her narrow brush with death in Holy Hell, you would think Lillian Byrd would have learned to keep her head down, but when a friend in crisis calls from Palm Springs, Lillian jumps on a plane and wings her way from Detroit to California and danger. It's the weekend of the Dinah Shore golf tournament, the wildest women's sporting event in the world, when thousands of lesbians from around the country descend on the small desert town of Rancho Mirage and take over. At a pre-championship party, a capsized tray of champagne serves to introduce Lillian to a top LPGA star, and Lillian leaps into a sizzling romance without a second thought. But her superstar athlete has a secret: Someone is quietly terrorizing her. Lillian, eager to help, goes undercover as a high-profile reporter, an unhinged nun and a professional caddie while uncovering disturbing layer after layer of her lover's past. Who is the stalker? The lickspittle agent? The fierce rival? The alcoholic mother? Finally, with violence erupting at every turn, Lillian uncovers her lover's final horrifying secret. And it is not at all what she thought. Once again, Elizabeth Sims has crafted a nail-biting thriller, featuring her oh-so-human amateur detective, that sizzles and zings and has readers laughing through their shivers.

Elizabeth Sims is an American author and writing authority. Her novels include the Lillian Byrd Crime series, Holy Hell, Damn Straight, Lucky Stiff, and Easy Street, as well as the Rita Farmer mysteries, The Actress, The Extra, and On Location.

bursts of laughter intertwined with great intrigue 8 Aug 2003
By Stacy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Best book I've read in awhile! I adore this fresh, bright character. Can't wait for the next installment of Lillian's adventures!
Sims writes in the first person perspective, but even moreso - it's as if the character Lillian is sitting right beside you, unfolding her story. And I come away as if I'm met a new friend...a friend who is smart, very witty, with a heckuva great sense of humor.
I especially enjoyed that Lillian shlepps her mandolin around with her, sharing fiddle tunes with friends. The details about this part of her life and also about her pet rabbit Todd make Lillian come alive. Great character development. Damn Straight is a fun and engaging read.

An excellent sports focused story 9 Aug 2003
By constantread - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've been reading lesbian books for a long time and this is one of the best stories in a sports milieu. The fact that Lillian is a golfer (duffer to be sure)helps pull the reader into the "Dinah". The only problem I have (as I do with many other books) is Lillian's sureness that she is in love with Genie in two days. Really! We do get a solid picture of who Genie is and what golf means to her by the end of the book. An excellent read!

Laugh out loud book.... 22 Jun 2003
By Bobbrun - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Purchased this book and Ms. Sims' other book "Holy Hell" based on your "recommendations"....thank you. While I really enjoyed her first book, this book had me chuckling. I, too, have seen those "poached football" feet. Additionally, her editor and proofreader must be commended. So many books being put out today are like buying a new house and finding out that no one did the final inspection.
