One is Lorraine Quinn, Cantor Gold's most recent one-night-stand. The other is political power broker and aspiring New York socialite Eve Garraway, a regular client of Cantor's stolen art trade.  \u003cbr\u003ePolice nemesis, Lieutenant Norm Huber, wants to pin the murders on Cantor, send her to prison, and put her in the electric chair. He'll get evidence on her any way he can. Into this cauldron of danger and death come two other women, each with ties to Cantor's past. One hates her until passion intervenes; the other harbors darkly hidden feelings.  \u003cbr\u003eSet during the earliest stirrings of the Homosexual Rights Movement, Cantor begins to question her own tenuous identity, and the trade-offs she must make to get what she wants.  \u003cbr\u003eCantor Gold, dapper butch art thief and smuggler for whom survival is everything, must now grapple with two fronts: surviving the shifting sands of the criminal underworld, and navigating the changing tides of society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative New Yorker Ann Aptaker's Cantor Gold Crime series has been the recipient of Lambda Literary and Goldie Awards.
