It's 1979, the height of the post-Stonewall era of gay sexual liberation, and a young man has been brutally murdered. The gay son of a wealthy family has disappeared. Now it's up to private dick Don Strachey to get to the bottom of this mess--even if he has to cruise every gay bar in the city to do it!
Don Strachey isn't exactly the most sought-after private eye in Albany, New York. In fact, this gay P.I. has gotten to the point of having to write checks to pay his tab at the cheapest lunch counter in town. And he isn't sure that the latest one, for the grand total of two dollars and ninety-three cents, is going to clear. Then the phone rings. Billy Blount, the gay heir to one of Saratoga Springs' upper-crust families, has disappeared, and his parents want him back. On top of that, Billy, a young and outspoken gay activist, is wanted for the grizzly murder of the man he slept with on his last night in Albany--a man he'd never met before that night! </p>
Set in the glorious, promiscuous pre-HIV late 1970s, Death Trick is a fast-paced excursion through the seamy underside of gay Albany. From gay discos where the hard-pumping music never stops, to the city's infamous baths, to the dark alley behind the local precinct house, this hard-bitten private dick searches for answers to the questions that plague Billy's parents and the police. </p>
With his faithful companion (and unfaithful lover) Timmy plus a cast of characters that includes drag queens, ex-jock gay bar owners, homophobic cops, male hustlers, and wealthy suburbanites, Strachey begins a chase that leads him to seedy gay bars, posh suburban homes, and pricey mental institutions where they use electric shock to destroy "sick" gay tendencies. </p>
Armistead Maupin describes Death Trick as "sassy and sexy" and calls Don Strachey, "a private dick who really earns his title." The New York Native calls the novel, "more than just a first-rate murder mystery." The Advocate said, "a great lazy-day read." And Newsday called the book, "well written and compelling." </p>

评分今天突然看到了这本书的历史真实原型。回过头来安利一波Donald Strachey系列小说。主角是一个同性恋侦探,生活在同志社区。爱人是政府工作人员。接触的案件多半是LGBTQ相关。这一系列小说不仅写得非常流畅,案件的水准和感情线的安排(时不时喂点狗粮主角一对超级甜的)节奏也不错。个人认为,作者自身作为LGBTQ的成员身份,某种程度上以一个亲历者的笔触记录下了从80年代到千禧年后LGBTQ群体的状态。视角很难得,而且描述客观平实。例如这本书,案件当事人的原型是米开朗琪罗·西尼奥里莱,以及他当时所创办的杂志OutWeek,专门为当时的公众人物开柜的文章。这个事件在90年代早期,是LGBTQ运动的重要组成部分。看小说的同时仿佛跟着主角回溯了一遍历史。体验很难得。

评分其实不是特别出色的书,可是我决定把这个系列看完。可能是因为电影甚可爱……还是因为Don的cynical attitude比较对口味?

死亡诡计是DSM系列的开篇之作,也是我看过的三本(死亡诡计、不从即死、第三疑凶)中最硬的一本。这个硬,既是指悬疑内容较重,又是指感情戏较奇怪。事实上这书是我三年前看的,很多情节已经记不清了所以前者纯粹是凭D四处寻找线索得出的结论,但后者的感觉却是很清晰的,如今...
