Description
A gay bar's business is getting killed--along with its clientele--in the final novel of this beloved mystery series set in early-eighties Boston. Daniel Valentine is Boston's most fabulous gay bartender. Clarisse Lovelace is his straight--yet glorious--pal and business partner. Together they run Lovelace's bar. And also, when necessary, solve the occasional murder. Lovelace's bar, once the darling of Boston's gay brigade, is losing money like crazy--mostly because someone keeps leaving dead bodies around. The cops are, unsurprisingly, not interested in the gay community's problems. Good thing Valentine and Lovelace know a thing or two about catching killers.
