Decadent. Duplicitous. Deadly.

Welcome to the Queer World of the Roaring 20sIt wasn’ t how gay speakeasy owner Dash Parker’ s birthday was supposed to go. But this was New York City at the height of Prohibition, and everything— and everyone— can turn on a dime.

When one of Dash’ s club patrons is murdered, Dash and his friends must discover the killer while also outwitting a devious blackmailer. Together, they navigate the shadowy world of drag queens, cabaret performers, gangsters, mob molls, lesbian lawyers, and a mysterious but dangerous “ Baroness of Business.” Men and women who have everything to lose— and some of whom will do anything to keep their secrets hidden.

A trail of clues leads them from Greenwich Village to Harlem and back again. But time is running out, and a ruthless killer’ s next victim might very well be Dash himself…

This was a tough decision as A Blind Tiger, which is the second hidden Gotham novel, is just as good. Beautifully written, amazingly read. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Just off for Gin Rickey or two!
