Julie Smith: Death Turns a Trick (USA 1992)

From the Publisher:
"Mystery fans will hope to see more of Smith and Schwartz" -- San Francisco Examiner
It's one thing to represent hookers in court and quite another to play piano for fun at a feminist bordello. So when San Francisco attorney Rebecca Schwartz barely escapes a police raid, she has only herself to blame. But it's not over yet. By the time she gets back to her apartment, Rebecca discovers the bludgeoned body of beautiful Kandi, a college student and part-time prostitute. Rebecca is beginning to feel besieged-as indeed she soon is-by a killer. For a nice Jewish girl from staid Marin County, life is becoming much too complicated.

Fast, funny, and wise, DEATH TURNS A TRICK is one more extraordinary turn for author Julie Smith, one of the best creators of contemporary mystery fiction writing today.

"Smith weaves a pleasantly engrossing mystery with an attractive and amusing heroine." -- The San Diego Union

And nice lawyer Rebecca Schwartz shouldn't have -- shouldn't have gotten involved with a co-op feminist whorehouse, a senator with kinky appetites, the demimonde of San Francisco, and $25,000 planted in her asparagus fern. Especially when it all adds up to murder. Especially when it's committed in her living room. And especially when her favorite uncle is the prime suspect.

Now this young urban professional is caught up with the world's oldest profession-and no law can help her when...
