GAY DETECTIVE BOOKS

There isn’t enough space this article (or, ed, a rather long history book) to explore the long and shameful lerary history of amg gay characters as eher victims or villas. Fast forward through several s of margalizg gay voic or treatg gay romance as eroti, and the days, we’ve fally got mastream publishers wakg up to the fact that queer stori have a vast and growg dience, although we ntue to be bted to the outsized ntributns of small prs such as Bywater Books.

Of his but, Rs Thomas has wrten, “I had a gay protagonist long before I had a tective protagonist, ” and while this layed the path to publitn, bee for some absurd reason publishers ed to thk women on wanted straight hearthrobs—I subm to you as evince the ENTIRE world of fan fictn—by the time Thomas published Firewatchg, he did so to near-universal acclaim.

Now, I’m close to fishg U Up?, her ice-ld sophomore novel of love and loss LA, and I’m rather annoyed at havg to stop readg to wre this blurb. In 1986 Los Angel, homophobia is an all-time high, and an ultra-nservative anizatn is ready to fan the flam of hatred wh a ballot iative to round up HIV posive Angelos and put them mps. When I created DS Adam Tyler for Firewatchg, I did so partly bee I wanted to create a fictnal tective who was gay.

GAY DETECTIVE NOVELS BOOKS

There were gay protagonists (rare, but they did exist), and there were gay police officers (often send or third tier the hierarchy of characters), but I uld not thk of a sgle queer protagonist.

GAY MURR MYSTERY DETECTIVE BOOKS

He explicly stat that he isn’t homosexual, but his obssn wh Dickie Greenleaf, and his tenncy towards unreliable narratn more than suggt otherwise. I fd almost nceivable that there was one gay character at the helm of a mystery seri for over twenty years, and I only very recently disvered him! He’s openly gay, or homosexual (Hansen apparently hated the term gay), and though he feels no need to announce to everyone he meets, he’s not ashamed of eher.

Firstly, like his ntemporary Delafield, he’s an actual p, an LAPD reer police officer (there seem to be far fewer male gay tectiv than female). He’s also a big bear of a man who breaks a lot of the earlier stereotyp (so often mysteri and thrillers the gay man is portrayed as a sleazy, sadistic baddie wh unwholome sexual predilectns).

THE GAY DETECTIVE: HOMOSEXUALY CRIME FICTN

So far, Sturgis has steadfastly avoid beg killed off (a rare skill for a gay supportg st member), which mt make him the longt nng gay character a mystery seri ever.

Set 1980s San Francis, he’s unashamed to tackle the thornier issu of gay life—dgs, alhol and the AIDS crisis. Hap Colls is the sensive, broodg workg-class labourer who avoids vlence at almost any st, while Leonard Pe is a gay black Vietnam veteran wh a vlent streak, who’s more than happy to shoot any man who unrtimat him. But ’s Leonard Pe who stands out as somethg special, a gay protagonist the mystery genre who breaks every stereotype the book.

If there are few gay protagonists crime fictn, there are fewer still the annals of historil crime. Plakcy about the history of homosexualy crime fictn, and then make sure you're signed and ment below for a chance to w a py of The Next One Will Kill You!

GAY DETECTIVE COP BOOKS

And before I wrote my first mystery featurg a gay tective, I read Joseph Hansen, Michael Nava, Mark Zubro, and Nathan Aldyne. Jt as Christie, Sayers, and Gardner were among the pneers of the ntemporary mystery, Hansen, Nava, Zubro, and Aldyne were the lears rporatg gay characters to crime fictn. Their books opened doors to gay culture at a time when homosexualy was nsired a psychiatric disorr and a sure way to break a mother’s heart.

He was one of the very first mastream thors to wre about a gay tective—an surance vtigator named Dave Brandstetter.

His wasn’t the first gay tective to h prt—that honor, I believe, belongs to Pharoah Love, a sexy, sassy Ain-Amerin police tective workg Manhattan, thored by Gee Baxt. His seven mysteri starrg gay Hispanic attorney Henry Rs foc a great al on the AIDS epimic and s effect on men, their iends, and their fai, and they n be heart breakg. Mark Zubro also has a strong social nscience, but his books are leavened wh humor and a bg sarsm directed agast homophob and school admistrators, among other awful sorts.

Schoolteacher Tom Mason and his lover (and eventual hband), baseball star Stt Carpenter, are amatr slths who solve crim and fight for jtice schools and gay neighborhoods, focg on muny, iendship, and fairns all thgs.

Zubro’s send seri foc on Pl Turner, an openly gay homici tective—a rary at the time of the first book, Sorry Now, published by St. Zubro has said that he created Turner to show another si of gay life: a voted father whose kids e first.

GAY DETECTIV

Mart’s was, as far as I know, the first mastream publisher to set up a gay imprt, wh Richard Stevenson, Grant Michaels, and Michael Craft among s stable of thors. His sikick, a straight woman named Clarisse, starts out as a realtor and then go to law school, but she ntu to hold a torch for Daniel, who is most rolutely gay. The culture of the gay bar is on display here, as well as what was like to live Boston the late 1970s and early 1980s.
