Transitory

The cops blow it off, another Black transgender woman who surprised a customer with what was under the dress--bad luck she was pushed out of the car and then hit by another vehicle. But Micky Knight witnessed it, crossing the street at the right--or wrong--time, only yards away from what didn't look at all like an accident to her. The woman was dressed more like a librarian than a sex worker. It's not her case, she was just walking home from a local bar. No ID was found on the victim, and the only clue is an appointment card with cryptic initials, CJ at CC. Micky has a good idea what they mean--Cordelia James at CrescentCare, a local health clinic that sees many transgender clients. Cordelia, a doctor and her ex. Micky doesn't want to get involved, but there will be no justice if she doesn't. As she investigates, she uncovers a family in turmoil and ugly secrets--ones people will kill for.
