An elusive creature stalks a private gallery, killing a night watchman with its corrupted bite.

Cassiopeia and Dale take a winter holiday in Arizona at the behest of Annette Kuiper. The trip is a welcome opportunity for Cassiopeia to bond with family, but for Dale it's a cavalcade of C-level snobs, humiliating dress codes, and fake smiles.

To make matters worse, Ms. Kuiper only invited them to provide a pro bono investigation for a wealthy acquaintance. Now the pair must unravel the mystery of the cursed painting linked to the fatal attack while struggling to enjoy the festivities as party-crashing exterminators.

Honor and pedigree clash in The Beggar Queen, where family is just the start of the holiday's horror.

Contemporary fantasy horror, with a dash of class, folded into a LGBTQIA+ story, and served with a side of sapphic romance.
