Harlem, 1926. After the tense summer that resulted in the death of murderer Theodore Gilbert, twenty-six-year-old Louise Lloyd has once again gained a level of notoriety. Reporters want to talk to her and she is in the spotlight- the last place she wants to be. Louise begins working at the Dove, owned by her close friend Rafael Moreno. There Louise meets Nora Davies, one of the girls she was kidnapped with nearly a decade ago. Nora is a little rough around the edges, but the two women- along with Rafael and his sister, Louise's girlfriend, Rosa Maria- spend the night at the club, drinking and talking. The next morning, Rosa Maria wakes up covered in blood, with no memory of the previous night. Nora is lying dead in the middle of the dance floor. Louise knows Rosa Maria couldn't have killed Nora, but the police have a hard time believing that no one present can remember anything at all about what happened. When Louise and Rosa Maria return to their new apartment after being questioned by the police, they notice the door is unlocked. Inside, the word GUILTY is written on the living room wall. Someone has gone to great lengths to frame and terrify Rosa Maria, and Louise will stop at nothing to clear the woman she loves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Harlem Renaissance $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a Harlem (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Mystery fiction. 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 0 $a Lesbian fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Lesbian fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230104014513.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20221005014612.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20221004010741.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0EAF75A2A8611EDB7025AE94EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
