Product Details


Product Description

From Library Journal

While his lover Peter attends a class reunion, narrator Alex, watches a porn flick. When he recognizes his former college lover, he decides the guy must need help, arranges a meeting, then finds the man murdered. Alex's British mother appears out of nowhere to help him fend off the police, but a subsequent murder forces them to reveal their sometime CIA status (see Government Gay, St. Martin's, 1997). So Alex, Peter, and mom investigate, learning more than they needed to know about the porn industry. Despite the rather feeble plot, the salacious subject matter and mom provide comic relief, albeit without much finesse. A marginal purchase.

Product Description

After spotting an old college flame starring in a rented porn film, Alex Reynolds tracks him down to an L.A. address-only to find him murdered on his apartment floor. Suddenly, his occasional CIA contact is very interested, and the odd spy team of Alex, his lover, and his mother, Jean, must scour the gay porn industry to find the murderer. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lighthearted, enjoyable must-read, May 15 2000
I really love Hunter's Alex Reynolds books because they are so entirely unique. They blow-apart stereotypes and everything we've come to expect in the gay-mystery sub-genre: the leading character, Alex Reynolds and his partner Peter, are deeply in love and committed, and Alex's mother is a wonderful and inspired addition. It's a relief to read a series in which the characters are not constantly whining about the plight of being gay, and where the stories don't necessarily revolve around gay issues, even though that does enter into it a bit. Unlike many gay mystery series, you get the feeling that these guys have lives outside their sexuality.

Federal Fag is a welcome addition to the series, as Alex and his family try to discover who killed a porn star-former friend of Alex's. I found myself laughing out loud over and over again (especially when Alex's mother shows up for the first time). Hunter hits just the right balance between the humor, which is first rate, and the mystery, which is a well-thought-out, constant source of surprise.

If you like more than a little humor with your mystery, you'll love it. This is a wonderful book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Federal Deficit, Jun 29 1999

Yahoo! Jean is back! Yes, the fiesty, funny star of the Alex Reynold's series returns for another set of wacky and wild adventures centered around rescuing her apparently totally helpless son Alex (and his equally helpless husband, Peter). If you loved Jean in GOVERNMENT GAY, you get twice as much of her in FEDERAL FAG. And what's not to love? Of course, if for some reason you were hoping book two of the Alex Reynold's series might center more on Alex and Peter (they even LIVE with Mom), might have a little more spice and less sugar, might develop and expand what is a sorta interesting plot...uh,keep hoping. Hunter seems set on playing to every stereotype of a gay man. He goes for straight laughs (pun intended) and doesn't bother breaking it up with any tension or excitement. I like a good joke as much as the next guy, but this one is wearing thin. THE ADVENTURES OF ME MUM is not what I was looking for when I opened this book. Give Jean her own series, Fred!
