- <i>2016 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Mystery Shortlisted</i><br><br><b>Dan Sharp scours Torontos seamy underbelly after the murder of a notorious nightspot owner, and finds his own life on the line.</b><br><br>When Yuri Malevski, owner of notorious country-and-western bar The Saddle and Bridle, is found dead in his Parkdale mansion, missing-persons investigator Dan Sharp is reluctant to interfere in what he sees as police business. At first, Malevskis sleazy lifestyle and shady associates make the murder look like an open-and-shut case, but Dan reconsiders after being approached by a couple who say Malevski was killed by cops over protection money.<br><br>When vulnerable people who had frequented the dead mans bar begin to disappear, Dan feels compelled to jump in feet first. Following a lead, his investigation takes him into the heart of Torontos gay community, where he confronts its down-and-outs transients, drug dealers, and con artists and soon finds his own life threatened as his search brings him closer to a killer.
