| Summary: | An exposive, tender love story in which a Superintendent discovers his sergeant is homosexualLittered with complex, often comic characters, and crafted within the tradition of film noir and hard-boiled private eye novels, The Gay Detective is a drama of unflinching investigation into loyalty, betrayal, and the private demons of sexual desire. It also demonstrates the difficulties of reading a moral compass in a world where reliable signposts are almost invisible.Set in Dublin, the action revolves around Pat, a homosexual sergeant whose Superintendent persuades him to make use of this fact in his work. In doing so, Pat's moral path becomes a maze, and what seemed a simple agreement with his superior suddenly appears more like a Faustian pact. |
