A darn good read

Slick by Camarin Grae 'A lesbian group is hosting a conference in San Francisco, at which the centerpiece will be the great and profoundly symbolic statue of the Winged Dancer. Given every assurance of secure passage, the South American home of the priceless golden statue has allowed its transport to America. But despite every precaution, the Winged Dancer is stolen. Held for ransom by a woman who calls herself Slick. Who is Slick? How did she manage to steal this sublime symbol to women? Where has she hidden it? The women must find her. Yet she mocks their every attempt to discover her...' (Excerpt from the summary on the back cover.) Grae's writing is, as always, fabulous. Many characters in this book are brought together from her other novels but it's not necessary to read the other books first, as their roles in this book don't depend upon previous knowledge of them. In addition to the glimpses into characters which I loved from her other books this is a marvelous who-done-it as well. I didn't figure out who Slick was until Grae let me. There aren't many writers of Grae's caliber and every book she wrote is a jewel, this one too. **Remember - if you want your favorite authors to keep writing they have to be able to earn a living doing it, so, if possible, buy the book NEW to provide the author with royalties. If you're not going to keep it in your collection put it in the recycle bin to make another book.**
