A foreword for this new edition by Michael Nava (Henry Rios series) is included.¿"This murder mystery, recounted with sassiness and wit, is full of true-to-life details about contemporary gay existence. Stevenson uses the yarn to poke fun at straitlaced parents, homophobic cops and greedy gay bar owners ... This is a great lazy-day read - and politically correct, yet!" - The Advocate"Stevenson holds his own with the top novelists of the clever mystery genre. He writes wittily and knowingly about his subjects, both the gay world and the world of politics, and draws telling portraits of the bitter, clever amusing men who inhabit both." - West Coast Review of Books"Sassy and sexy ... Don Strachey is a private dick who really earns his title." - Armistead Maupin"Mystery fans had better grab hold of this and keep an eye out for Richard Stevenson." - Bay Area Reporter
