In You Can’t Die but Once, Penny Mickelbury continues her series with Police Captain Gianna Maglione and investigative reporter Mimi Patterson, both dealing with workplace upheaval while trying to strengthen their relationship. Gianna is still healing from a gunshot wound when her Hate Crimes Unit gets folded into a new team with a different boss and a collection of quirky colleagues. Mimi has returned to journalism after walking out rather than apologize to a racist, sexist homophobe—but she’s done writing exposés about corrupt politicians and wants to focus on stories that actually help people. When both women get wind of a child prostitution ring, Mimi’s reporting opens the door for Gianna’s team to go after the operation. Mickelbury doesn’t shy away from the ugliness of the case or the toll it takes on everyone involved. The investigation forces both women to confront their own trauma and figure out how to support each other through work that constantly throws the worst of humanity at them. The procedural elements and the romance are inseparable here—the relationship isn’t background, it’s how these two survive doing what they do.
