She had been archiving the work of a famous drag queen known as Flawless Mother Sabrina, who was once a star of stage and screen, but had since settled down in New York City, mentoring and offering refuge to young drag queens, wayward queers, and trans artists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith Sabrina's blessing, Tourjee read the manuscript, which chronicled a remarkable investigation she had embarked on back in 1973 into one of the most notorious and brutal serial killings in American history - the murders and kidnappings of at least 27 young boys by Dean Corll known as the Houston Mass Murders. But as infamous as Dean Corll was, there was an even deeper layer to the lore just underneath the surface, one indicting an entire strata of Houston elite. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Flawless\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of how Flawless Sabrina - a drag queen citizen detective turned queer elder of the highest caliber - uncovered the story of a hidden gay Houston ruled by the most wealthy and powerful men in the city. She alleges these murders were more than the isolated actions of an individual madman. They were the concerted project of a larger group of predators. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlive with danger and mystery, \u003ci\u003eThe Flawless\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh addition to the true-crime genre in which Tourjee exposes the perverse, questions the powerful, and ultimately believes-against all odds-in justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Tourjee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635572894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635572896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.12w x 1.00d","brand":"Diana Tourjee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097294119167,"sku":"9781635572896","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-flawless-diana-tourjee-9781635572896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
