Overview
On New Year's Eve, in 1923, someone walked into Mickey McFadden's queer speakeasy hidden beneath the Big City Little Theater and shot her and her dog, EZ, dead. Or sort of, mostly, kind of dead. Because instead of crossing over, they become trapped within the bar's walls. And though EZ eventually manages to wriggle his way free, Mickey remains, her spirit frozen in time. In 2022, employees of the Big City Little Theater encounter a stray dog. When Ciara, the theater's bookkeeper, saves the dog from being hit by a truck, she begins to suspect there's something odd about the mysterious canine. Ciara and her friends happen upon the sealed-up speakeasy in the theater's subbasement--and find the dog inside. Their discovery launches them on the investigation of a lifetime, complete with an ancient murder to solve, strange occurrences to explain, and a missing person to find. When Mickey's spirit begins to find her way out, she and Ciara finally come face-to-face. And it's more than the speakeasy's old wiring that makes sparks fly. Can they solve the murder and figure out how EZ returned to the world of the living before the clock strikes midnight on the next New Year's Eve? Because if they don't, they're pretty certain Mickey's time will finally be up.

Author Information
Weapons training? Check. Ziplining down a mountain? Got it. Paying someone to mock-kidnap her? Oh yes. How about cave swimming with bats overhead? Absolutely! When she isn't seeking out wild and crazy experiences to do firsthand research for her characters, Goldie Award winner Elle E. Ire writes speculative romance featuring kickass women who fall in love with each other. Elle is the author of ten books including Vicious Circle, the Storm Fronts series, the Nearly Departed series, Reel to Real Love, and Harsh Reality. Quinn Riley (a.k.a. Jeremy Carlisle Parker) is an actor and singer working in New York City. She started her career as an opera singer (and has since transitioned to musical theater) and her training has afforded her a facility with many accents and foreign languages. Quinn has a profound love for storytelling and firmly believes that books can change lives. She is an out and proud queer woman and is deeply committed to amplifying queer voices whenever she can. When Quinn isn't in the booth, you can find her tie-dying t-shirts in her kitchen sink while listening to true crime podcasts and catching up on RuPaul's Drag Race.
