Curtains for Astrid

By Lancer Gareth

Once a rising star in the police force, Jewels Leclair's career was shattered by prejudice and bigotry, forcing her to reinvent herself as a private investigator in the sultry streets of New Orleans.

When Genevi ve St. Croix, the grieving mother of Astrid-a brilliant 22-year-old student at Willow Grove College-begs Jewels to reopen her daughter's unsolved murder case, Jewels is reluctant but can't turn away. The case has been cold for seven long years, but Genevi ve has never given up hope of finding justice.

Eager to prove her crime-solving prowess, both to herself and the colleagues who cast her aside, Jewels dives headfirst into the investigation. What she uncovers is a tangled web of Astrid's hidden life-her dangerous relationships, buried secrets, and a tragic obsession that may have sealed her fate.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans' drag scene, Curtains for Astrid is a gripping tale of love, revenge, and resilience. As Jewels races against time, she must untangle a mystery buried deep in the shadows of the bayou, and uncover the truth behind Astrid's murder-or will those secrets remain buried forever?
