Book description
A Donald Strachey Mystery, Book 4 - After an attempt is made on his life, Queer Nation activist John Rutka asks tough-as-nails gay private detective Don Strachey to provide him with protection. Why does someone want to kill him? The activist's efforts at outing closeted gay homophobes have earned him a multitude of enraged enemies who would just as soon see him dead. After Strachey refuses to help, the man's body is found savagely murdered in apparent retribution for his deeds. Now, because of this, the reluctant Strachey feels obligated to investigate.Written over a period of three decades, the Donald Strachey series authentically chronicles gay life as it unfolded in upstate New York. An author's note is included."Stevenson has deftly picked up where he left off ... A tightly plotted, fast-paced, entertaining mystery full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end." - Lambda Rising Book Report"Richard Stevenson takes a familiar whodunit formula and infuses it with new life. The action is lively, the plotting is honest and non-exploitative." - Chicago Tribune"A warm welcome back to Donald Strachey - who's returned to us just in time to walk into a minefield of issues affecting our besieged and contentious community. This admirable, absorbing new mystery has all the immediacy and realism of a telegram from the front." - Katherine V. Forrest"Sassy and sexy ... Don Strachey is a private dick who really earns his title." - Armistead Maupin
