Overview
A tautly plotted trans-centric mystery novel by the author of Doom Patrol and Godmother Night.
By day, Simon Goldtree is an incorruptible homicide detective, clearing up impossible crimes while maintaining a wall of absolute secrecy around his personal life. But when the case of a murdered insurance executive draws Simon into a web of corporate intrigue, that wall starts to crack, forcing Simon on a strange journey into his own secret desires—as well as a future that feels more dangerous than any investigation.
Pairing iconic author Rachel Pollack’s ahead-of-its-time 2002 mystery with contemporary commentary that sheds new light on her fiction and its place in trans literary history, this reissue of A Secret Woman reveals a strange, specific transfeminine world of the past that remains fresh and relevant today. Here, Pollack gives us a virtuosic mystery novel that contains its own secret: the most direct and personal statement she made about being a trans woman.
