A GLITTERING NEW COSY MYSTERY STARRING EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE DRAG QUEEN TURNED AMATEUR SLEUTH, MISTY DIVINE...


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. Today, it’s his dead body on her doorstep.

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 murder to solve be her own?

Critic reviews

The LGBT community has its own Warrior Queen! All hail Misty Divine! I devoured this wonderful novel...how brilliant to have a proud, unapologetic voice like Misty's to speak out for the LGBT community. Plus - it's a cracking good detective story; as salty and humorous and compelling as the very best drag acts...a rollercoaster read (J.M. Hall)
Drama from the very first sentence...this mystery is a real action adventure and thrill ride from beginning to end (Jamie West)
Misty’s back and camper than ever in this dramatic, OTT mystery. Witty and fun, this is a story of getting justice and learning to trust your instincts. I need more! (Jack Strange)
Blood, gore, and the sound of sparkling high heels on Soho Square. More fun than you can shake a foundation stick at - I loved it! Misty Divine rules the fictional London drag scene with quick wit (Kitty Murphy)
