They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer...Simon is Molly's oldest, bitchiest, best friend. Since they high-kicked out of university, Molly has become a jobbing musical theater actress, while Simon is on the cusp of fame as his caustic, bitter alter-ego: Genita L'Warts, a drag queen with a talent for abusing audiences. They'd always vowed no man would ever come between them, but Simon can't resist his fatal attraction to straight men. When he seduces Molly's boyfriend, she is broken hearted, and their friendship seems fractured beyond repair. But sometimes it's hard to tell the difference... Distraught, Molly flees for comfort to her one-time landlady, Lilia - an eccentric ex-cabaret singer with an extraordinary past. But is Lilia's bungalow quite the safe refuge it seems? The old lady has plans for her protegee: she will break Molly down, remake her, and together they will conquer the world. But what exactly does Lilia want, and how far would she go to get her way? While Simon battles his own demons and longs for a reconciliation with his old friend, Molly is about to find out that the devil has all the best tunes... Paperback, 320 Pages, Orig.
