While Detective Lt. Rebecca Frye’s elite unit attempts to uncover the connection between the local organized crime syndicate and a human trafficking ring, she and her team, and those they love, unwittingly become targets.
As part of the operation, Dellon Mitchell goes undercover with a young woman posing as her lover—a woman with a secret agenda that might cause them both their lives. Before long, the hunters and the hunted are caught in a complex web of double-crosses and desire where the lines between good and evil blur, and justice may be the ultimate victim.
Fifth in Radclyffe's Justice Series.
COMING IN JULY 2009--SECRETS IN THE STONE:
Three women caught in a web of secrets and dark desires—
Rooke Tyler lives a solitary life in a small town on the Hudson River, carving intricate headstones in an exclusive cemetery for the county's wealthy families. At night she pours her dreams and desires into the figures she sculpts-waiting for the woman she senses in the stone.
Adrian Oakes knows there are things in life that defy rational explanation—she has spent her life avoiding casual contact with others, because sometimes what she feels draws her into a world of dangerous attractions and dark desires.
Melinda Singer, a beautiful seductive art dealer, wants both women and will stop at nothing to have them. When fate brings the three together, passion and destiny ignite.

I began reading lesbian fiction at the age of twelve when I found a copy of Ann Bannon’s Beebo Brinker. That book and others like it convinced me that I was not alone, that there were other women who felt like I did. Our literature provides support and validation and very often, a lifeline, for members of our community throughout the world. I am proud and honored to be able to publish the many fine authors at Bold Strokes Books and to contribute in some small way to the words that celebrate our lives. I live with my partner, Lee and our family of dogs, in the country in upstate New York and in Provincetown, Mass.

Reviews for Radclyffe's books
Shield of Justice: “… As I read through the novel, I discovered a moving love story between two remarkable women, each strong and capable, but each very different from the other. You gave them time to overcome their emotional caution and to develop a deep and touching bond. The love scenes are moving and genuine, as are Catherine and Rebecca themselves. It is truly engaging to see them reach across the divide of fear and difference and meld with each other. One imagines this relationship unfolding in the future as a passionate and enduring union. But even more, you managed to weave this lovely romance through the well-plotted story of a terrifying serial rape and murder mystery. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!”
—Ann Bannon, author of The Beebo Brinker Chronicles.
In Pursuit of Justice:
"...the solid prose and sure-handedness of the narrative make this a cut above the merely formulaic. Radclyffe's style is clear and direct, without being heavy-handed; despite the stereotypical trappings of cop life, for example, you get the sense she has considered these women and their inner lives. In an early scene Catherine, watching Rebecca dress for work, recognizes a subtler, more profound transformation taking place: "As she assembled the symbols of her identity, Rebecca's expression became more remote, her carriage more guarded, and her eyes more distant It was a frightening thing to witness when what Catherine needed most from Rebecca were the parts she so naturally hid away. ... In Pursuit is "celebratory" in the sense that these are strong, compelling women battling obstacles in the pursuit of something worthwhile; be it love, justice or compassion."
-Elizabeth Flynn, Lambda Book Review, Vol 12 (7), 2004
Honor Guards:"Honor Guards, the latest installment of Radclyffe’s Honor series, takes place in the days just before 9/11, and effectively uses the countdown as more than just an ominous backdrop – understated and deftly woven into the story, the coming disaster becomes almost an unseen but tangible presence that shapes the entire narrative. As usual, Radclyffe delivers an engaging tale of Secret Service agent Cameron Roberts and her lover/protectee, First Daughter Blair Powell – lovers who, living in the public spotlight, never seem to find a moment’s peace. Equally compelling this time around, however, is the subplot involving the blossoming relationship between agents Renee Savard and Paula Stark, in a storyline full of the sexual awakening that is the hallmark of Radclyffe’s work. The real story, however, is the tension between love and duty faced by Cameron and Blair – a vein that Radclyffe has successfully mined throughout the Honor series, and to which she returns here with stunning success. Powerful characters, engrossing plot, and intelligent writing – Honor Guards is a non-stop page-turner that ranks among the very best of Radclyffe’s remarkable oeuvre."
—Cameron Abbott, author of To The Edge and An Inexpressible State of Grace
