title: Speak Daggers to Her
author:  Rosemary Edghill 
description: This adroit and often sardonic blend of New York City hip and New Age neo-Paganism begins with a death, maybe by witchcraft, and introduces a modern witch as sleuth. Bast, whose mundane name is Karen Hightower, receives a desperate phone call from Lace Devereaux, who has just discovered the body of her lover, Miriam Seabrook. Bast becomes suspicious about the death, especially after discovering that the victim's ceremonial knife, her athame , is missing. Long a hanger-on in occult circles, Miriam had recently joined a new, highly secretive coven and had cut herself off from her old friends and haunts. Bast trawls the "New York Metropagan Community" for clues, drawing both indifference and threatening anonymous phone calls. She tracks down Ruslan, the authoritarian head of Miriam's coven, Baba Yaga, who is searching for the Khazar Wicca , an illustrated book purporting to contain the coven's rituals. Despite her reliance on capital letters, Regency romance author Edghill ( Fleeting Fancy ) deftly evokes the witchly milieu, exposing its factions and politics. Bast is a quirky, honorable protagonist whom readers will look forward to seeing again. <br />Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!” I mutter. Clenching the rag I’m using to wipe down the bar, I stop to
  stare at the woman who has been haunting my fantasies since she showed up with her brother and his
  crew a week ago. She has no business being in a place like this. And what in the actual goddamn fuck
  is she wearing now? She has on a black summer dress with tiny white flowers all over it. The tiny
  straps are holding up her full
