Death in Key West

By (author): Jeffrey Round

Bradford Fairfax, special agent, has a romantic New Year’s Eve in store for his boyfriend Zach: a stay at a luxury resort in Key West. But their plans are turned upside down when the pair run into an improbable “heiress” to one of the world’s great fortunes — someone who is desperate to convince anyone that his father wants him dead. But how much of a grasp on reality can a drug-abusing mega-wealthy man who thinks he’s Maria Callas really have? And who or what is this mysterious “Baby” that he pines for? Does the transvestite ghost, Rosie, hold the answers to these and other troubling questions? Join Brad and his sidekick Zach for this second instalment in the Bradford Fairfax mystery series, a madcap and raunchy romp through the original gay Shangri-La.

Reviews

“… Round knows how to set the scene and throw around the bitchy one-liners. And he makes us take Brad and Zach’s relationship seriously, which is really refreshing in a queer thriller.”


– NOW Toronto

“Camp, colourful characters and an artistic sensibility doll up this drag queen of a mystery. Death in Key West belts out a tale of broken hearts, heinous crime, quick quips, sensible heroes and unpredictable villains. … Plentiful operatic references and a literary sensibility shine up this tale. You can tell that Round had fun writing Death in Key West. Readers will have fun too.”
