A SHORT STORY BY AN EDGAR WINNER

"If you haven't discovered Smith yet, now is the time to do so...Move over, Sara Paretsky! " --KPFA-FM

"Smith has researched the Big Easy exhaustively. . . . Her plot careens with as many twists and turns as a car chase through the French Quarter. ... [A] rich, tightly structured narrative."
--Publishers Weekly

â€œJulie Smith writes like jazz should soundâ€”cool, complex, and penetrating right to the heart.â€
--Val McDermid, best-selling author of the Tony Hill series

Once you read the opening line: â€œDonâ€™s the name, Divaâ€™s the game,â€ you know youâ€™re in for a careen through the hood. And not just any hood. This is the Big Easyâ€™s Faubourg Marigny, dawlin,â€™ where Diva Delish, the worldâ€™s most glamorous drag queen detective, presides nightly as bartender at the Marigny Palace. Never one to miss a bet, Divaâ€™s got a little P.I. office set up in the back. When a neighborhood gutterpunk walks into the Palace (what? a gutterpunk with money to hire a P.I.?) Divaâ€™s intrigued enough to take the case, accompanied by her faithful dog, Barkusâ€”who knows a clue when he smells one. Her alter ego comes along too, an unprepossessing chap who goes by the name of â€œDon.â€

Originally a radio play, PRIVATE CHICK is a symphony of the sounds and dialects of New Orleans, and pretty much a laugh a line. As the author said in an interview, â€œIf youâ€™re going to write about a drag queen, thereâ€™s just no way to slack off on the one-liners.â€

Julie Smith is the author of the Skip Langdon and Talba Wallis mystery series, also set in New Orleans.
