Excerpt:
“This
is not a drag show, honey. There are no boys in skirts working here. All the
beautiful ladies at Pearls of Asia are transsexuals. We also happen to be
curvaceous, luscious, and all things deliciously glorious about being feminine.
We’re Women 2.0—special girls with special equipment. That’s what makes us, as
well as this place, unique. Pearls of Asia is more than just a restaurant; it’s
about the quest for self-identity, about the right to own and control one’s
body. We leave you questioning everything you think you know and see. If that’s
not an outrageously fun night out, then I can’t help you, honey. Do you still
want my phone number?”

Summary:
After beloved San Francisco anchorwoman Michelle Osher
is found nearly decapitated in her palatial Nob Hill apartment, suspicion
focuses immediately on her wealthy, arrogant husband, Paul. Inspector Mac Fleet
and his partner are assigned the sensational case, and they quickly uncover an
all-too-familiar pattern linking the widowed spouse to Sheyla Samonte, a
part-time waitress enjoying a lavish lifestyle on Paul Osher’s dime. The pair
of seasoned detectives assume she wanted a promotion from mistress to wife.
The investigation turns on its head when they discover
Sheyla, a drop-dead gorgeous dancer born and raised in the Philippines, works
at Pearls of Asia, a stylish restaurant featuring a cast of exotic transsexual
performers who serve up flirtatious teasers along with delicious cocktails. Mac
crawls down a rabbit hole and comes face to face with the restaurant’s uniquely
captivating servers—Diamond, Reyna, Nadia, and Ashley—and unveils a fascinating
lifestyle full of drama, humor, and high heels.
When Sheyla refuses to cooperate unless Inspector Fleet
takes her to brunch, he agrees even though he knows it’s outside the lines of
police protocol. Mac soon finds himself dealing with his own set of personal
demons, unable to decide whether to arrest Sheyla or ask her on a date.
The ensuing investigation reveals infidelities,
betrayals, and a host of people who might want Michelle Osher dead. But as the
case heats up, so does Mac’s romantic interest in Sheyla, whose stunning beauty
and charming personality compel him to question her involvement, but not her
courage, and to cross the line between his personal impulses and professional
responsibilities. Convinced of Sheyla’s innocence, Mac devotes himself to
finding the real killer. Ultimately, he is moved to take actions he never
dreamed of to discover the truth about the case, Sheyla, and himself.
