註釋Many 50+ women looking for what they see as a last chance at love have taken to the internet. And if a woman is from a small town, is financially secure, and is willing to relocate--that love is waiting for her in Washington, DC! Lured not really to DC but to its Maryland and Virginia suburbs, and then to secluded lesbian bars where they are total strangers, the confused, lonely women do what confused, lonely people everywhere do--they talk to the bartender. But this bartender really cares about these women, and when they begin to disappear, the bartender alerts her good friend, Lt. Gianna Maglione, head of the DC Police Department's Hate Crimes Unit. All Gianna's senses go on alert because she knows of the existence of several Jane Does in the morgue. Investigative newspaper reporter Mimi Patterson hears a version of the story from different sources, and while this isn't usually her kind of story--her reputation was built on sending corrupt politicians and public officials to jail--she finds the common denominator, the path that always led her to the take-down of the corrupt officials. Following the money has been her rule, and all those missing women were quite well-to-do. What happened to their houses and cars and bank accounts? Gianna and the cops can answer those questions, too--and faster than Mimi can. But another question prods her: What's wrong with our culture that we so easily side-line women of a certain age? And why would smart, talented, wealthy women embrace danger--or worse--for one last chance at love?
