The letter was brief and to the point: "If we wanted to live with faggots we'd move to San Francisco. Get out of town. Now."

At their wits' end, two gay men hire private investigator Cassidy James to find out who is blackmailing them to leave their home on Cedar Ridge. Cassidy's original theory that this is the cowardly act of a homophobic nutcase is quickly negated when she learns that other residents of the Ridge have been getting threatening letters as well. Letters from someone who knows the most intimate details of their lives. Someone who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Cassidy throws herself into the investigation, hoping against hope that it will help her forget the horror of her first case...and the woman who broke her heart. Now a target herself, Cassidy doesn't realize how close she could be to getting her wish. After all, dead women have nothing to forget...

Be sure to pick 1st Impressions, the must-read first installment in Kate Calloway's exciting mystery series. Watch for the next Cassidy James mystery, 3rd Degree, coming soon.
