 A dead body in a back alley means little to the rough streets of 1880s New York City—until Charlotte Olmes, woman detective, steps onto the scene. Crime-solving on behalf of her female clients, Olmes eschews decorum and ventures into places forbidden to the fairer sex, sleuthing after clues hidden, elusive, and often distasteful.

 When the exotic Miss Tam pleads with Charlotte to find the man to whom she's secretly married, Charlotte ventures into the dark and dangerous crannies of the city with her partner and passionate lover, Joanna Wilson, at her side. Soon, what appeared to be the random misfortune born of Chinatown's opium dens reveals itself as a vicious gang-related murder—and Olmes and Wilson find themselves wedged between the ethnic and political forces that collide where Chinatown borders the Bowery.

Penned by Lambda Literary Award winner Debra Hyde, Of White Snakes and Misshapen Owls recasts the classic eccentric detective genius in ways never before seen. Passions both criminal and carnal come alive in vivid and exacting detail in what promises to become the hallmark of the Charlotte Olmes Mystery Series.

Charlotte is one kickin' heroine, both on the investigative trail and in her own home with her life partner Joanna. She's as "modern" as could be, and tolerates no nonsense. An exciting series debut, for mature audiences only

Debra Hyde

Debra Hyde is the 2011 Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Erotic for her novel, Story of L. To her delight, she won it the same year her late mother's favorite author, Armistead Maupin accepted a lifetime achievement award. Debra is deeply thankful for that bit of synchronicity; her mother is never far from her thoughts.

Before writing novels, she saw dozens of her erotic short stories find print with some of the top publishers of erotic fiction. Then she stepped away from the print world—long considered the industry pinnacle—for ebook publishing. All of her work is available in ebook, and her short story backlist is about to be republished in a mini-anthology format with Sizzler Editions.
