Synopsis

Once ahead of its time, "A Queer Kind of Death" now comes into its own as a modern classic, a brilliant, biting, and devastatingly clever novel about a young actor/model who is found dead in his bath. The list if suspects forms a bizarre coterie: Seth Piro, a failing writer who was the dead man's roommate; Seth's estranged, vindictive wife; a chic, aging millionaire and his companion-masseur, and the millionaire's fat enigmatic sister. As Seth threatens to write a book that will expose the intricate web of lust, fear, and jealousy that holds these people together, the official investigation is launched by one Pharaoh Love, a gay, black, New York City detective whose involvement with the case comes to have less an less to do with the call of duty. | George Baxt has written numerous screenplays and television scripts as well as a series of detective novels—one of which, "A Parade of Cockeyed Creatures," was awarded a special Edgar by the Mystery Writer's Association in 1968. He was born in Brooklyn and presently lives in Los Angeles. [Description input by FreelancerFR]
