Hookers and Handguns Anthology A project of Misti Media, LLC (see other related projects). About Sex workers don’t get enough credit.These folks see it all. And, they know how to keep a secret. Mystery is a key part of the job, and they know when to share vital information and when to keep their mouth shut. There’s a reason why detectives seek these people out when trying to solve a case. Now, we’re shining a spotlight (or streetlight) on these unsung heroes, giving them a chance to prove to the world that they not only provide a vital service, but that street smarts can be just as good as book learning.
