Cover by Gigi Little
Josie Waller, a San Francisco cop, and Emmanuel Cerrillo, a Pomona, California, detective suspect two bizarre suicides are actually murders, and the victims—a teetotaling Baptist preacher who died of a heroin overdose and a school board member who injected herself with cobra venom—are connected by their vitriolic homophobia. The officers launch an unofficial investigation and find more than expected.
Robert Davenport, an overly intellectual gay English professor at an Ivy League university with subliminal dreams of being an action hero, responds to a personal ad that delivers him to a recruiter for “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” In theory, the group wants Davenport to write a literary manifesto, but just how far is he willing to go, and will the officers find him before it’s too late?
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell moves forward like a rollercoaster… This cerebral thriller is a must-read for anyone who enjoys intelligent writing.”
-James D. Williams, Professor Emeritus, UCLA, USC, UNC Chapel Hill, and Soka University
“Friendship is as big a theme as murder in this tense, exciting thriller with exasperatingly human characters.”
-Karen Eisenbrey, author of The Gospel According to St. Rage and Daughter of Magic
