 Sixteen years after this 1992 story, and forced outing remains a hot button in gay politics. When an activist's claims that men he's outed are stalking him don't ring true, Albany's only gay PI drops his protection detail--and the client winds up dead. Strachey peels back the layers of his client's double cross only to find ... a triple cross. (Filmed for release by HereTV in 2005.)

Ice Blues [Donald Strachey Series Book 3] [MultiFormat]
by Richard Stevenson
|
|
Someone's left a man's body in Donald Strachey's car--the grandson of Albany's most connected political fixer. A letter from the deceased asks Strachey to dismantle his grandfather's party machine. Like a chess master, Strachey moves ten suitcases, an army of colorful pawns (all of whom think they're king), and $2.5 million across the continent and around Albany. One of the funniest in the series. (Filmed for release by HereTV in 2008; originally published 1986.)
