Description
Missing in Soho by Holly Stars features the return of drag queen detective Misty Divine, confronted with a brand new mystery to solve.
Photographer Jeremy Edmunds has vanished without a trace. His last known location? Soho.
As the owner of Lady's Bar, no one knows the city—or 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.
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?
