I recently finished reading a mystery from 1992 about a gay detective. The book "Third Man Out" by Richard Stevenson is about Detective Donald Stracey who investigates a mystery tied to an extremist-activist who exposes people "in the closet" because he thinks that gay people who don't come out in their professions do a "dis-service" to society by not showing gay people have good jobs.
When there is are two attempts on his life, Detective Strachey is roped into helping him. It leads to a bunch of suspects from the activist's files. Some still closeted, some out and one mystery man. When you think the story is over, it's not. Well done!
ABOUT THE BOOK: Which powerful mystery man killed the gay activist for outing him? In Third Man Out, tough-as-nails gay private investigator Don Strachey investigates the murder of a self-righteous Queer Nation activist who may have been killed for outing prominent closeted gay homophobes.
