Description
When the obnoxious owner of a gay bathhouse begins receiving threatening messages accusing him of not admitting people inside that he doesn't deem "hot" enough, he enlists the services of private detective Dick Hardesty to find the person behind the notes. When the owner is murdered following a heated argument with Dick, Hardesty becomes a suspect. Following a succession of other seemingly unrelated deaths - all involving individuals noted for their cruelty to other gays - Hardesty begins to show more suspect the actions are of someone who is looking to "take out the garbage" of the gay community. Can he solve the case and clear his name before the body count rises even further? show lessTags

This is set right at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. We find Hardesty a bit at loose ends and playing the field. We have a killer knocking off "not nice" people. That's about it for the plot. It's okay in style and action. Better than most gay detective novels.
