"In Under the Mink, Lisa Davis brings to magnificent life a bawdy, brave lesbian 'underworld' not often seen in print. An author of immense talent, Davis lovingly re-creates the night life of bar entertainers who are often just a step ahead of police and mob violence. With its memorable characters, its acute details, its sense of fun, danger ;and passion, with its butch swagger and fem elegance, this novel is a vital addition to our literary tradition. Long may Lisa Davis write!" -- Joan Nestle, author/activist extraordinaire

"Scramble to your favorite bookstore to pick up a nifty mystery that is sure to be talked about for a long time. Author Davis has a compelling story to tell and has the energy, wit and nerve to pull it off with verve. At once accessible and cunning, the writing sparks the reader's interest from the very start. The moody darkness of mob-dominated gay bars and the rampant fear of customers are noted with a true ear for language and tone." -- New York Blade News

"I really canÍt tell you how much I enjoyed Under the Mink. ItÍs too wonderful for words. IÍm recommending it to everyone I know--even to my straight coworkers. ItÍs such an entertaining and interesting book, the characters so memorable, that just about anyone can enjoy it. Thank you for writing, and please tell me weÍll be seeing Blackie and the gang again soon in a blockbuster sequel." -- Customer review by David in San Francisco
