In October 1993, Lois Taylor was still coming to terms with the death of her close friend and ally, Dorian Corey, the famous drag artist. It was barely two months since Dorian had passed away that August. Opening the doors to her Harlem apartment for the buyers made Lois shiver.

Why Jemma Beheaded Her Friend
(Master Detective April 2023)
It was a routine call for AA man Lee Gardin. It was late June, 2021, and he’d had a typically busy day helping tourists driving to and from their holidays in Devon.

As the motor purred quietly, the man turned and looked at the two women in the car. One sat next to him and the other was in the back seat. He did not speak to them.

The reason for their silence… more »
Was Marilyn Murdered?
(Murder Most Foul No. 127)
She was the blonde-haired American sex symbol whose fame eclipsed her film-star status and whose life came to a sudden, tragic end at the age of just 36. Marilyn Monroe’s death at her Los Angeles home in August 1962 shocked the world.
