HALL----Photographer Jeremy Edmunds has vanished without a trace. Last known location? Soho. As the owner of Lady's Bar, no one knows the city - and its secrets - better than drag queen Misty Divine. So who better to help private detective Sylvester Green follow this missing man's trail than the Queen of Soho herself? But no sooner has one mystery landed, than another one takes Misty by surprise. Because the next day, Sylvester is back. The difference? Yesterday, he was alive and safe. Today, he's dripping blood onto her doorstep after narrowly escaping an attack on his life. With danger drawing in, Misty must take Sylvester's investigation into her perfectly manicured hands. Can she solve the case, and find the missing photographer? Or will the next crime for Misty to solve be a murder?---'Blood, gore, and the sound of sparkling high heels on Soho Square. More fun than you can shake a foundation stick at - I love it!' Kitty Murphy
