Dick Hardesty, is pressed into service when someone starts burning down gay bars all over town and the police chief (nicknamed "the butcher") shrugs the whole thing off. Then drag queens and female impersonators get into the act and Dick is required to sleuth out who is hot and who is not. The Good Cop (2002) The Bottle Ghosts (2003) The Dirt Peddler (2003) The Role Players (2004) Dick and his lover, Jonathan, finally manage to take a vacation, and it is, to some extent, a sentimental journey for Dick—it is to New York City, the site of former adventures, and where his former lover is now settled in with a new lover, Max, who happens to be involved in a theater company. So Dick and Jonathan fly in for opening night, but also arrive soon after one of the original cast is murdered—gunned down with a shot in the back, and ending up face down in a vacant lot. It seems Dick can’t even have a vacation without playing his usual role of sleuth, and there is also a different kind of role playing as well… The Popsicle Tree (2005) Dick and Jonathan are left with Jonathan's nephew to raise when the boy's parents are killed in an accident. This is happening when a woman with a small son living in their building is also killed and Dick goes after the perp, especially after someone cuts his brakes lines. It is a time of conflict between awakening parental instincts and Dick's investigative talents. |
