THE DISASTER GAY DETECTIVE AGENCY

Lev AC Rosen

A romp that combines Chris Bohjalian's THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT with the comedy-drama television series "Search Party" in a fast-paced comic thriller about a group of friends caught up in espionage.
You know the disaster gays: Brandon, a hopeless romantic who is willing to deny all common sense for love; Ollie, who has little direction and no ambition beyond getting stoned and walking dogs since his father was killed in a hit-and-run; Nicole, an overworked junior law associate from Washington Heights who practically lives at her office; and Ian, drag queen by night, bookstore worker by day, who can't move past the hurt of an unresolved breakup. In other words, these are not the sort of people you want handling an investigation. So it's not great news when they end up stumbling into one.

Brandon is a nighttime hotel concierge. The job is boring, and he loathes the droning of his coworker. When a handsome stranger named Jon checks in and invites Brandon to his room, Brandon chucks all rules of professionalism out the window. A tale as old as time follows: Jon promises to text, Brandon falls in love, and Jon ghosts. Case closedor is it?

Jon checks out early, leaving behind a bag of belongings, including his cellphone. Brandon, against the advice of his crew, takes the phone, and bringing Ollie with him, sets out to find Jon. They get more than they bargained for -when the pair witnesses a murderand sees Jon fleeing the scene.

Relying on their distinct strengths and eccentricities, Brandon, Ollie, Nicole, and Ian work together to solve the mystery of the murder and of Jon's true identity. Funny, heartwarming, and gripping, THE DISASTER GAY DETECTIVE AGENCY is a new series that will draw you in with drama, and keep you there with flawed, loveable characters and a friendship that surmounts all their personal issues. Hopefully, it can help them through this mystery, too.

Lev AC Rosen is an award-winning author of both queer mysteries and queer comedies including The Evander Mill series and CAMP. In THE DISASTER GAY DETECTIVE AGENCY series, Rosen marries these two genres in a delightfully disastrous romp through international espionage. For more on Rosen, please visit LevACRosen.com.
