Candas Jane Dorsey

In the second installation of the Epitome Apartments Mysteries, our wise-cracking, grammar-obsessed, pansexual amateur sleuth is called on once again, this time to help with a stalker 'Think Patricia Highsmith on helium' Mark Sanderson, Sunday Times Crime Club 'A gloriously queer, camp crime caper full of drag queens and sex workers and one particularly sullen cat. This book is a breath of fresh air to both detective fiction, and queer fiction' Waterstones Brighton, Indie Book of the Month 'The characters are compelling, fresh and entertaining, particularly Dorsey's ambisexual proto-detective, the feisty, sarcastic and endearing lead. Bunuel and Dorothy B Hughes meets Malcolm Pryce. Quick fire plotting, snappy dialogue and a love of hardboiled crime make this really entertaining' Crime Time When childhood friend Pris breezes back into her life begging for help with a dangerous stalker, our heroine is thrust suddenly into the world of the Canadian uber-rich. And when Pris's stalker is then murdered outside her book launch, the case is seemingly closed. But something still doesn't feel right, so our nameless heroine delves into her old friend's past, seeking the mastermind behind Pris's troubles before it's too late. Bunnywit does his level best to warn them, but no one else speaks Cat, so background peril soon becomes foreground betrayal and murder. Our detective walks a dangerous path in a world where money is no object and the stakes are higher, and more personal, than ever.
