Moving away from traditional romance structures into the realm of gritty avant-garde crime writing, Karelia Stetz-Waters’ The Purveyor follows Adair Wilson, a theater professor who inadvertently becomes entangled in a high-stakes nightmare when two of her students are abducted. When both her wealthy family and the victims’ relatives refuse to intervene, Adair takes matters into her own hands to dismantle an underground human trafficking operation protected by corrupt law enforcement. Aided only by her lover, Helen Ivers, Adair is plunged into a dangerous, dark criminal underworld spanning from suburban Boston to the legal brothels of Nevada. The narrative seamlessly interweaves intense suspense and high-stakes action with a deeply committed, self-sacrificing sapphic romance.
