"well, it's not elegant..."

well, it's a cold, crampy morning at the baltimore chronicles and your heroine salimah perkins and her doppleganger, Kate Krupnik are both out of deoderant.

have been reading the first Tess Monaghan novel, Baltimore Blues, and am ever charmed. i wish i could fall headlong into a job where i solve people's subtle and not-so-subtle mysteries all day. my surly, jaded disposition would serve me well, i think.
