This survey examines series and groundbreaking stand-alone novels published since 1964, analyzing main characters, themes, plot elements and more. Author interviews provide insights that are incorporated into the analyses. The work begins with an overview of gay and lesbian detective fiction, and an outline of the mystery genre's development. Subsequent chapters, arranged by the main character's profession, examine the series or work in the contexts of mainstream mystery fiction and gay and lesbian culture. The final chapter covers series-spanning gay and lesbian themes, and provides a list of works and authors.
