Synopsis
Book One of William Maltese's Stud Draqual Mystery Series with a chief protagonist who's handsome, wealthy, well-connected, CEO of a large silk-manufacturing company, and head of a renown haute-couture fashion house specializing in silk women's lingerie. Stud Draqual, despite his advantages in life, not without his troubles, personal and business, as the A SLIP TO DIE FOR's plot unfolds murders played out against the fascinating and exotic backdrop of the New York's Fashion and Publishing industries. Stud, between visits to his pyschiatrist, Dr. Melissa (call me Dr. DoLittle, if you please!), managing to inadvertently solve not only the question of who's killing friends and associates of his, decked out in Draqual silk slips, but figure out the answers to a few other intriguing mysteries as well. A book definitely for those looking for something a little different, as Maltese expertly weaves a tale that includes not only crossdressers, chubby-chasers, sumo wrestlers, and New York business/social types, but also offers up a fascinating Mafia connection to boot.

From the Back Cover
MURDERS IN FASHION
Someone not only killed the author, who'd been an underground movie star, who'd been a model, who'd been a hustler, who'd been a cross-dresser ... but killed the borderline drunk, who'd been a TV-network executive and anchor-man for the national news.
Someone dressed each corpse in Draqualian silk ... a very special silk, by very special silk worms, who ate very special mulberry leaves, to make very special cocoons pre-dyed, in Technicolor digestive tracts, to very special perfection.
Stud Draqual knew the silk ... knew the dead men ... and would eventually penetrate the mystery to his own eiminent peril, to know the killer.
