THERE'S A BODY IN MAX DE PAULEY'S GRAVE …
BUT IT'S NOT HIS
Max de Pauley is dead, seventeen days shy of his eightieth birthday. He is survived by his lifelong partner, Martha Sunday, also nearly eighty. They were bound together, not by a mutual love and compassion, but by events of nearly sixty years ago which meant they could never leave one another. Now, all Martha wants to do is have him buried, along with his guilty secret. But there's a problem.
Charlie Fox is dead, floating face-up in Max's water-filled grave. Just a few short days ago, he’d been on top of the world, believing all his dreams were about to be fulfilled and he’d finally be somebody. No longer merely Pandora Fox, a drag queen eking out an existence in a sleazy Bottomless Brunch, but a man of substance, a property owner. But now, here he is in a sodden gown with his Louboutins pointing towards the rain-soaked sky.
The police investigation into Charlie Fox’s death leads to Martha’s door. Forced to think on her feet, she struggles to keep a grip on reality as she weaves a web of lies. Can she hold her nerve or will she crumble in the face of seemingly insurmountable pressure?
