Small-town Idaho, where everyone knows your business, is no place for a baby dyke to go looking for love. Especially when murder and homophobia are stalking the streets. For Wilhelmina "Bil" Hardy, trapped in the coils of her eccentric family and off-the-wall friends, neither the course of true love nor amateur sleuthing runs smooth. Mistaken identity, misunderstandings, and mysteries galore take Bil to places she's never dreamed of visiting. 'Idaho Code' is a funny book about love, family, and the freedom you can find in a state that values individuality more than common sense. Joan Opyr 's hobbies are politics, politics, and politics, though, for the sake of variation, she has been known occasionally to dance the polka.
