Long before high-profile lesbian cops such as Laurie R. King's Kate Martinelli were fighting for our attention, a former Marine turned Los Angeles police detective named Kate Delafield was doing some quietly effective ground-breaking of her own under the expert guidance of Katherine V. Forrest. In Liberty Square, Delafield is in Washington, D.C., for the 25th anniversary reunion of her old Vietnam outfit. When all hell breaks loose, it's Kate the cop who has to sort it out. Forrest's writing is spare and her characters come to life quickly. Other Delafield books in paperback include Amateur City, The Beverly Malibu, Murder at the Nightwood Bar, and Murder by Tradition.
From Publishers Weekly
The latest appearance of Forrest's likable heroine, lesbian LAPD detective Kate Delafield, is earnest but unconvincing. Former Marine Kate and her lover, Aimee, are in Washington, D.C., for Kate's Vietnam reunion. Most of the wartime gang are there, some thriving, some still bitter, but one much-loved character is absent, an apparent MIA, a man that Kate misses more that most. Is there a secret behind Cap's disappearance long ago? A volley of bullets peppers Kate and Aimee's hotel room within hours of their arrival, and then Allan, another vet, is murdered, leaving a hint that Cap was involved. Yet Allan never met Cap overseas. Why is he dead now? Long stretches of Vietnam vet-talk, angled mainly towards the personal difficulties faced by homosexual service men and women, and frequent, distracting shifts in point of view (between Kate's and Aimee's) and the never fully answered question of why the killer shows up at the the reunion seriously diminish the impact of this story from the author of the considerably superior Murder at the Nightwood Bar.
