Two misfit sleuths search for a street hustlerโs killer in this mystery series debut first published in 1980 and set in Bostonโs gay scene.
Daniel Valentine is a gay bartender and former social worker. Clarisse Lovelace is his straight pal who works in real estate. They make an unconventional investigative duoโbut sometimes unconventional is exactly whatโs called for.
When Billy Golacinsky, a teenage street hustler, is found dead on the lawn of a homophobic lawmaker, everyone wants the case swept under the rug. Everyone except Valentine and Lovelace. Now theyโre combing through Bostonโs gay sceneโfrom bars to bath housesโin a time before AIDS, yet full of other dangers.
