She Came in a Flash - Softcover
Emma Victor, the witty, intrepid heroine of the acclaimed She Came Too Late, is hot on the trail of Lana Flax, her best friend's kid sister, a onetime physics prodigy turned member of the yellow-clad cult of the Vishnu Divine Inspiration Center. When Lana finally turns up-dead-Emma begins to wonder if cult members turn on with something stronger than yogurt and higher consciousness.
Mary Wings was born in Chicago and now lives in San Francisco. She is the author of four other Emma Victor Mysteries: She Came Too Late, She Came by the Book, She Came to the Castro, and She Came in Drag. She is also the author of Divine Victim.

About the Author:
Mary Wings was born in Chicago and now lives in San Francisco. She is the author of four other Emma Victor Mysteries: She Came Too Late, She Came by the Book, She Came to the Castro, and She Came in Drag. She is also the author of Divine Victim.
From Publishers Weekly:
A prosaic plot spoils the return of amateur sleuth Emma Victor. Wings's ( She Came Too Late ) lesbian heroine has removed from Boston to San Francisco to recover from a love affair, and is now doing publicity and troubleshooting for the Women's Benefit Concert, organized by her friend, folksinger Maya Russgay. When a $5000 check from the Women's Freedom Foundation bounces, Emma tracks the donation to the Divine Vishnu Inspiration commune, which is presided over by statuesque Bu Mper "Bumper" Lee. While Emma also copes with a former punk rock star, Nebraska Storm, who is staging her comeback from drugs at the music fest, she receives a phone call from her best friend, Jonell Flax, asking Emma to contact her sister Lana. A promising physicist, Lana has joined the Vishnus and stopped communicating with her family. Though Emma talks to the young woman, she cannot convince her to return home. After the concert, Lana is murdered and Nebraska Storm is implicated. Believing in Nebraska's innocence, Emma embarks on finding the killer. The book is competently written and does have its moments: a surprise ending, a lovable, wheelchair-bound character, Roseanna Baynetta, and Emma, an interesting and thoroughly likable protagonist who deserves a better outing next time.
