Death Trick (Donald Strachey Mystery)
"A great lazy-day read." --The Advocate"More than just a first-rate murder mystery." --The New York Native"Well written and compelling." --NewsdayDeath Trick is one of a select group of mysteries that I reread  every couple of years. Its Chandler-esque wisecracks always make me laugh  and its late 1970s picture of raucous and exuberant gay nightlife always  makes me mourn anew the brevity of that pre-AIDS golden age. In Death  Trick, Richard Stevenson, like his contemporaries Robert B. Parker and Sara  Para Paretsky, began transforming the traditional politics of the  hard-boiled form. --Maureen Corrigan, Book Critic, "Fresh Air," National Public RadioOf all the gay mystery writers of the past twenty years, Richard  Stevenson is the most underestimated but may be the best of the lot. His  books are wise and witty and in Don Strachey he has created a wonderful  character who is a lot less dour than most private investigators and a lot  more fun to spend time with. I'm glad to see him back in action." --Michael Nava, Author of the Henry Rios mysteries--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
