The Grand Sex Tour Murders

by Daniel M. Jaffe

Overview

A Sex Competition in European Bathhouses-What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

 

What happens when you combine a tongue-in-cheek spoof of murder mysteries, reality TV romance competitions, and the live-streaming gay porn industry? You get The Grand Sex Tour Murders!

 

The Grand Sex Tour Murders follows an American serial killer as he stalks competitors in a live-streaming gay sex competition taking place in many of Europe's major bathhouses.  Throughout this fictional memoir by the competition's producer, we hear from the guilt-ridden producer, the self-righteous killer, and the increasingly terrified competitors.   Which of the competitors will be murdered in which city, and why? Can they do anything to protect themselves? How does the serial killer manage to get away with his rampage for so long? And who can stop him?

"[H]ysterical and heartfelt…an intelligent, fascinating book…Jaffe has come up with yet another winner…Highly recommended!"   —Out in Print

"Jaffe's written a page-turner...A kind of psychological tour de force.... At once a thriller and a comedy, this story also makes a pointed critique on not just gay life, but 21st century culture."  —Trebor Healey, author of Faun and Sweet Son of Pan

 

"Dan Jaffe writes in so many forms and sizes and genres and areas of his expertise that it's a wonder that he can do well in all of them.  And yet it's true. Sit back, unrelax, and get ready for the ride."  —Felice Picano,  author of Pursuit: A Victorian Entertainment
