Murder Is a Drag

Henry Santiago resigned from the Bureau of Detectives when it cost him his family-the wife who divorced him; the missing daughter he failed to protect. Now transient, he comes to a bar in Carvel Ohio to indulge in two of his passions: 1960's soul music and the comfort of dressing in women's clothing. When a local teenager dies in his arms, however, Santiago will be dragged into a conspiracy of murder, kidnapping, and small town political corruption.
Former nationally-renowned demonologist and Carvel native, Everett Sturm, blames the crime on a satanic cult. The girl's family suspects her boyfriend, who himself has been missing for nearly a year. When the mayor's daughter disappears Santiago has reason to suspect her political rival as the killer.
However, none of these theories are correct.
