Set concurrent to the events of the first Psychic Barber Mystery story, Gene arrives late for a gig MC'ing a karaoke birthday party where he will be performing his own unique brand of entertainment, complete with bedazzled outfits.

But when he arrives at the club, the party has already gone sour when the birthday girl's purse has gone missing -- and they accuse the DJ! So it's up to Gene to play amateur sleuth for once.

Can Gene figure out who really stole the purse? Will the party be saved? And will he really sing a tribute to TLC? Find out in this hilarious short cozy mystery.
