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 eminent peril, to know the killer…
From the pages of William Maltese's first book in the Draqual Mystery Series, the A Slip To Die For Candle (complete with "bullet holes" approx. 1/2" depth), seems to have fallen prey of the killer who dresses his victims in Draqualian Silk. Scented in very rich and luscious Mulberry such as the mulberry leaves eaten by the very special silk worms used to produce the beautiful Draqualian Silk, the A Slip To Die For Candle should be enjoyed while reading of Stud Draqual's perilous journey into unraveling this deadly mystery.

comments on his new novel
SUCKS! THE FIRST DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES
and its
Jfay candles connection:
“There are candles. Then, there are candles. And, only then … are there Jfay candles.
“It was inconceivable to me, from the get-go, that Draqual vampires would be any less inclined — than I would ever be — to use anything but the very best, especially in their selection of something as vital to ritual as candles — especially since Draqual vampires are so knowledgeable of the finer things in life.
“Therefore it isn’t mere coincidence that Vlad Draqual calls upon Jfay to supply the candles, by way of lighting the vampire’s very chic and very “in” blood-splattered high-fashion runway show of sandblasted denim at a New York City abattoir –”
Vlad walkie-talkie cues the light man; in the main room, the lights go out; the plethora of Jfay candles simultaneously go on to appreciative gasps from the audience …
“As is Vlad Draqual …As is his appreciative audience … I, personally, am always amazed and pleased by the wondrousness of Jfay’s artistic workmanship in the medium of wax.
Whether for setting a mood, for conducting a romance, for achieving a purely dramatic effect, or for the successful casting of spells, the very best is needed to achieve the very best.
“Candles don’t get any better than those by Jfay. Take my word for it. Take the word of the vampires Draqual.”
