Case of the Missing Dick

The Case of the Missing Dick is a murder mystery set in modern day Seattle. Harry Takanawa is a cross between Charlie Chan and Jacklyn Smith. He is Asian, clever, passionate, and also an avid cross dresser. His Doctor Watson is called Big Red, a no-nonsense lesbian who enjoys fist fighting and cunnilingus. Together they tackle the case of the missing Dick. Richard Sooka, noted designer and star of Designer Derby, has turned up missing and so has his charity gown, slated for auction beginning at three hundred thousand dollars. Dick’s absence puts a halt to the show, and while Hollywood and the fashion industry wait anxiously for his return, a reward is offered to whoever finds the valuable charity gown. Harry has money woes and a landlord that is a part time loan shark. With the pressure on to pay the rent, Harry and Red decide to find the dress and claim the reward. Before they can get going, pieces of Richard Sooka begin turning up all over town. A fun read with interesting characters, this one’s a total train wreck.
