"Plotwise, Penny is a thriller. Themewise, it's about a woman who finds out she's not quite who she thought she was, and comes to terms with a few things. The nearest I can come to describing it is this: the protagonist is a lesbian, Scandinavian Travis McGee berserker type, about 30, a retired SWAT team lieutenant who lives in Atlanta. She doesn't sleep very well because of all the people she's killed -- she's not exactly a delicate flower, but she has some conscience!"

"One night while she's walking, there's this big explosion, and she gets hooked up into this whole money-laundering thing, and murder, and smuggling. --Nicola Griffith (in Locus , Issue 428, Vol.37, No.3, September 1996).
