The untold story of one of America's most notorious serial killings and the remarkable drag queen whose boots-on-the-ground detective work revealed the dark underbelly of Houston's gay elite.

In 2014, journalist Diana Tourjee came upon a dusty, typewritten manuscript. 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.

With 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.

The Flawless 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.

Alive with danger and mystery, The Flawless 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.
