Synopsis

When circuit party boy Ross Pretty overdoses on Ecstasy, his death is ruled accidental. That is, until former lover and top-level secret agent Bradford Fairfax comes to Provincetown. In The P'Town Murders, Brad at first thinks he's pinned Ross's murder on Hayden Rosengarten, a wealthy, evil-minded entrepreneur. But then Hayden turns up dead. And he won't be the last to die. Now not only must Brad solve a series of puzzling murders in "the gayest place on earth," but he also must find a way to stop an insidious plan to assassinate the Dalai Lama.

About this title

Review:

A fabulous seaside setting, an attractive detective with a poignant past, a scandalous peek into the lives of real-life closeted celebrities, a blue-haired boy with healing hands, a sexy gay romance, rowdy Buddhists galore plus a brain-teasing series of unsolved murders: What more could you ask for? WHETHER SHAKEN OR STIRRED, THIS EXQUISITE COCKTAIL IS IRRESISTIBLE ENTERTAINMENT. -- Paul Russell, Author of The Gay 100 and War Against The Animals

SPARKLING, FUNNY, AND ODDLY TOUCHING, The P'town Murders pulls back the sequined curtain to reveal a Provincetown fuelled by greed, disappointment, and murderous desires. If you thought Provincetown was all tea dances, crushed ice cocktails and show tunes, you're in for a shock. Imagine a gay Disneyland run by the queer equivalent of Dick Tracey's Rogues Gallery, and you're halfway home. With Bradford Fairfax, Jeffrey Round has created a gay detective who defies all the stereotypes of the gay detective: charming yet insecure, handsome yet fretful, Fairfax is not a perfectly sculpted, party boy gay superhero, he's human, complicated, and subsequently very seductive. The gay murder mystery genre doesn't need another mannequin, it needs a real man. We root for Fairfax not because we envy him his glamorous life, but because he is one of us. -- RM Vaughan, Author of the novels A Quilted Heart and Spells.
