Death Picks a Blue Palette: a Rayanne, Noor and Sandy Mystery

Rayanne is a portrait artist, a drawing teacher and an accidental detective, whose studio is in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D C. Rayanne and her sidekick Noor, a born again, tough love lesbian, are confronted with a series of murders in the Old Town artists' community that the police want to write off as suicides. Rayanne's only weapons against the murderer are her intuitions, her very skeptical best friend and Noor's lover, Sandy, a killer ex-Marine.
