The Siren and the Drag Queen

Lieutenant Lisa “Circuits” Dunwoody, Delta Retired, is a hacker, and damn good at it. She can navigate the digital jungles of the internet and Dark Web like a firefly in the night—there one moment, gone the next. But real relationships are best left in the romance novels she loves to read after the death of her almost-fiancé six years earlier. Real life is just too complicated.

Then she visits the local theatre for the drag show.

Barrett Anders is a mostly retired therapist and non-binary person, though they still do the occasional session for old clients. But in June, they become Misty Fjords, the Viking Vixen, complete with glittering beard, several nights a week. When the Sirens come to town for Ladies Night and Lisa wins a raffle basket, Misty offers to teach Lisa how to use all the goodies in the basket personally.

Then drag queens start dying.

A serial killer seems to be targeting drag queens around the region, but Barrett’s not worried until one of their drag sisters turns up dead with the serial killer’s signature. When Barrett is kidnapped, Lisa must use all her skills at hacking, and those of her sister Sirens, to find them and bring them home before she loses her real life romance for a second time.
