In a world of liars & lovers, crimes of passion are always tough to survive. This romance-mystery extends beyond the whodunit & delves into the forces & personalities behind the experience of being gay. Detroit, Greenwich Village, & Fire Island are the settings for the murder of a look-alike of Peter Coulter, an ambitious actor & Nick Barron's former lover. Nick narrates the story as it unfolds, suffering middle-class culture shock, arising from casual values & disturbing dishonesties as he is drawn into the artful web of film agents, producers, & friends, one of whom is a cold & clever killer. Peter, the risk taker, & Nick, the security seeker, work through their conflicts to solve the murder & forge a relationship. As we enter a period of renewed assault on gay civil rights, THE FIRE ISLAND MURDER focuses on personal honesty & courage, the core of all social change.
