      About This Book

      Gay activist and accused murderer Billy Blount's missing, but Albany PI Donald Strachey doubts Billy's guilt.

      The 1981 book that launched Richard Stevenson's pioneering series is a cracking mystery and a fascinating trip into bygone gay culture--before HIV, in the bad old days of bath houses and gay disco, police corruption and tacit policies of harassment.
