Un encuentro casual en una gasolinera perdida, un asalto rutinario con consecuencias inesperadas, la mezcolanza de anhelos y de voces en la salida de un hotel para jalear a los jugadores de un famosísimo equipo de fútbol, los pensamientos de una francotiradora en sus largas esperas… Una mujer cualquiera vuelve a casa es un compendio de cómo lo sublime, lo injusto, lo irónico o lo aciago puede aguardarnos, a cualquiera de nosotros, a la vuelta de la esquina de nuestras vidas de rutina.

The highly-anticipated fourth installment in the Kapamentis Crime series, from bestselling science-fiction author T.W.M. Ashford.

A series of successful professional men are found slashed to death in their beds, apparently during sex, the presumed victims of a gay murderer. Homicide detective Max Segal is on the case, but he’s distracted by his failing marriage and an attractive journalist who is covering the case. Judy Wells has everyone fooled, including the police. She’s been methodically stalking, seducing, and murdering every man who has ever dumped her - and her revenge seems almost justified. But the FBI is closing in.

Thaddeus Cutter's life is on the mend. His detective business is growing, he's dating a sim-coder named Sakura, and he still has a roof over his head. If the dark, neon world of Kapamentis wasn't suffering its worst storm in decades, he'd say he had it pretty good. When a woman shows up at his door asking him to investigate her abusive husband and his shady business partner, Thaddeus assumes he's got an easy case on his hands. But when somebody close to the investigation is murdered, Thaddeus becomes the prime suspect, and he soon falls foul of both the law and the lawless.

Ashley McKenna is a blunt instrument. Find someone, scare someone, carry something; point him at the job, he gets it done. He generally accepts money upon completion, though a bottle of whiskey works, too - he's comfortable working on a barter system. It's not the career he dreamed about (archeologist) but it keeps him comfortable in his ever-changing East Village neighborhood.

As an amateur PI with a bent moral compass, Ash McKenna is good at finding people - but not at staying out of trouble. Between his own violent tendencies, the shadow cast by his father's death, and a self-destructive revenge quest, he made a mess of his life in NYC. Figuring it was time for a change of scenery Ash relocated to Portland, taking a job as a bouncer in a vegan strip club. And he hasn't had to hit anyone in six months. So when one of the club's dancers asks Ash for help finding her daughter, he declines, content to keep the darkness in his past.
