The follow-up to "Death Drop," the second book in our drag queen "Killer Queen" mystery series. Having graduated now from drag school, Jem is thrilled when he's hired to help out Miss Queer Mississippi at the Miss Queer America pageant. The only problem? The pageant is being held in Florida, the "don't say gay" state, as an act of political defiance! But once Jem—accompanied by friends Kyle and Ellis—arrives in St. Petersburg, it's soon apparent a lot of the chaos surrounding the pageant is more than just the usual backstage backstabbing and politics, but part of a bigger plan . . . and when a contestant disappears and is presumed dead, Jem and company have to put on their sleuthing caps, find the missing contestant and save the pageant!

A first-rate launch of a drag queen mystery series we need now more than ever." —Alison Gaylin, Edgar-winning author of "If I Die Tonight" and "The Collective" on Herren's previous Killer Queen Mystery "Death Drop"
"Makeup artist James "Jem" Richard might honestly believe that Marignyt Orloff is committing crimes against fashion with her ill-fitting couture gowns, but that doesn't mean he wanted to kill her.

Now, in between remembering snatches of conversations he overheard at the fashion show and suddenly becoming the target of Marigny's killer, Jem has no choice but to do some investigating of his own, unle3ss he wants his next death drop to be permanent.
