On The Other Hand, Death DVD (Donald Strachey Mystery 3)

Openly gay actor Chad Allen plays openly gay detective Donald Strachey in the third installment of this gritty crime series. The popularity of this series is partly to do with the way this tough and capable hero shatters many gay stereotypes, as does his loving monogamous relationship with his husband, New York State Senate staffer, Tim Callahan. On the Other Hand, Death deals with gay hate crimes and the problems that GLBT teenagers face. It begins with Dorothy (Margot Kidder) and her partner Edith, sleeping in each others' arms on the second floor on their farmhouse. Downstairs, as they sleep, someone breaks through their glass door. When Edith goes down to see what has happened, she finds slurs such as "Dykes Go Home" painted on the walls. As Strachey begins to investigate what happened, he learns that the two women rejected a very high bid on their property from a real estate developer. It seems that everyone in the neighborhood wanted to see their homes and Edith would have sold but Dorothy wanted to keep it. Things become even more complicated when Andrew (who was once Tim's boyfriend); a good friend of Dorothy comes into the picture. He makes a pass at Donald and challenges Strachey's loyalty to his partner. He also puts the marriage of the two men to the test. Also check out the other Donald Strachey mysteries on book and DVD.
