Figments of a MurderGILLIAN HANSCOMBE

-
First there was the detective novel with its stubble-chinned PI. Then came the feminist super sleuths. Feisty fierce and real. Now there's Figments of a Murder. And Babes.
Babes is about lust. She lusts to change the world, to remake everyone in her own image. Which means laying waste to whoever she's got her hooks into.
Babes is about power. But what else is she up to?
Set in London, Figments of a Murder is passionate and satirical. It probes images of self, sex, stardom and sisterhood. Images complicated by memories and money.
The world Gillian Hanscombe conjures in her fiction is torn asunder by love and lust between women. It's a world of murder and menace where Babes creates collisions and calls the shots. Or does she?
A rich and robust satire of feminst politics combined with a murder mystery.
