On the Other Hand, Death: A Donald Strachey Mystery
“America's favorite gay private eye is back.”
CrimeThrillerMystery
When the residents of a neighborhood are offered huge sums of money to sell their homes to a developer, the only ones to refuse are an elderly lesbian couple. Soon after, the couple's home is besieged by anti-gay vandalism, but Don suspects that the attack is motivated by big-business rather than homophobia.
VIBE
A grim, determined investigator navigates a shadowy world of prejudice and hidden motives. This film feels like a classic noir, but with a modern, socially conscious edge. It’s a slow burn that builds to a satisfying, if somber, conclusion.
