"Welcome to 21st century Atlanta. During your stay, depending on your tastes, you can cruise gay midtown (I hear that the Inquisition Health Club has introduced manacles and chains to the aerobics class) or check out the Reverend-Senator Stonewall's headquarters at Freedom Plaza (watch out for the Christian Militia guarding it, though) or attend a sky-clad Wiccan sabbat (by invitation only). Avoid the courthouse, where the Cherokee have turned out in full war-paint to renegotiate a nineteenth century land deal. Also stay away from all cemeteries, at least until the police find out why someone is disinterring and crucifying corpses. As you can tell, this is a lively novel, full of intricate plotting and engaging off-beat characters. Among the latter are a gay detective, a Wiccan family, an ambitious televangelist with an eye on the White House, an artist whose medium is flesh and blood, a Cherokee drag queen--and then there's poor Benji, who would just like to make it to his fifteenth birthday, assuming the MIBS don't get him first or his Baptist parents don't ground him for life because his new girlfriend is a witch. Oh yes, I enjoyed this novel. Very much. It's a deft, unusual combination of mystery, social commentary, fantasy, and humor. I couldn't have told you where it was going until the last chapter, but I kept reading faster and faster to find out." --P.C. Hodgell

Fine. Fine. First Pyramid Press edition. Softcover. 526 pp. In this quirky mystery/social commentary/fantasy novel of 21st Century Atlanta, join a gay detective, a Wiccan family, a televangelist, and a Cherokee drag queen as they cruise gay midtown. Depending on your tastes, you can take a shackles-and-chains aerobics class at the Inquisition Health Club or join a Wiccan sabbat. But make sure to avoid the Christian militia, the Cherokee in full war paint renegotiating a land deal, and cemeteries where someone is crucifying the corpses. In the middle of it all is poor 15 year old Benji, who just wants to enjoy his birthday without being hassled by the MIB.
