Third Man Out: A Donald Strachey Mystery

By Richard Stevenson

- Default Title
Description
Which powerful mystery man killed the activist for outing him? After an attempt is made on his life, Queer Nation activist John Rutka asks tough-as-nails private detective Don Strachey to provide him with protection. Why does someone want to kill him? The activist's efforts at outing closeted homophobes have earned him a multitude of enraged enemies who would just as soon see him dead. After Strachey refuses to help, the man's body is found savagely ed in apparent retribution for his deeds. Now, because of this, the reluctant Strachey feels obligated to investigate. Third Man Out brings back one of the most popular heroes in mystery fiction, Don Strachey, a private investigator as hard-boiled as they come, along with his lover, Tim Callahan, in a topical and very entertaining mystery dealing with the ethical issues of outing. The Don Strachey mysteries starring Chad Allen are now being filmed for here!, the first television network. Third Man Out starring Chad Allen as Don Strachey aired in September 2005. An excerpt from Third Man Out I almost asked John Rutka if somebody had shot him in the foot I knew plenty of people who'd have loved to but before I could, he gave me a look of astonishment and said, "I've been shot. One of them actually shot me." "Somebody shot you in the foot?" "One of them tried to kill him," Eddie Sandifer said, "but they only got him in the foot." Sandifer looked stunned too, and uncharacteristically shaky; ordinarily it was these two who inspired anger and fright, and Sandifer seemed unsure of what to make of this turn of events. "It must have been somebody I outed," Rutka said, and looked down, appalled, at the bandaged foot. "God, they're even sicker than I thought. I knew some of them were pathetic, but this is something only a psychopath would do." We all peered down at the foot as if it might add something on its own behalf.
