A Cast of Killers

A Cast of Killers

In this second of the Hubbert Lil "cozy with an edge" mystery series, written by Katy Munger using the pen name Gallagher Gray, Auntie Lil and T.S. enter the world of Hell's Kitchen, a Times Square neighborhood where Broadway's chorus girls of yesteryear now stand in lines at local soup kitchens, make-up perfectly in place, hoping to be fed.

When one of these former beauties is poisoned while eating Auntie Lil's famous chili, Auntie Lil becomes obsessed with finding out the long-forgotten real name behind the victim's stage identity so the poor woman can be given a proper burial.

This search leads Auntie Lil and T.S. into a murder investigation and the world of NYC runaways, a world that neither of them would particularly like to admit even exists.
