Publisher's Summary
Shaw and North are best friends, private detectives, and in danger of losing their agency. A single bad case, followed by crippling lawsuits, has put them on the brink of closing shop. Until, that is, a client walks into their Benton Park office.
Matty Fennmore is young, blond, and beautiful, and he’s in danger. When he asks for Shaw and North’s help foiling a blackmail scheme, the detectives are quick to accept.
The conspiracy surrounding Matty runs deeper than Shaw and North expect. As they dig into the identity of Matty’s blackmailer, they are caught in a web that touches politicians, the local LGBT community, and the city’s police.
An attack on Matty drives home the rising stakes of the case, and Shaw and North must race to find the blackmailer before he can silence Matty. But a budding romance lays bare long-buried feelings between Shaw and North, and as their relationship splinters, solving the case may come at the cost of their friendship.

Gregory Ashe Celebrates the LGBTQ Orientation i
This is a mystery with two detectives as the main characters. Shaw and North are best friends, and really much more than that. They are known in St. Louis, Missouri for running an LGBTQ friendly agency. A handsome young client being blackmailed walks into the office and the plot, with twists and turns , and many surprises, begins.
The story is interesting. It grips you from the beginning until the very end, indeed it is even more gripping as it unfolds. Quite a bit is left unresolved at the finish line. The writing is very good. The dialogue is believable and contemporary, with frequent humorous send ups of modern gay life that remind me of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. Lululemon pants, episodes of vegetarian experimentation and yoga - you get the picture. There is blackmail, and murder, and a memorable drag queen. It is so much fun.
There is sex, of course, but the sex scenes are very well done and serve the story line, as they do in the best of modern fiction. But finally, Orientation is an exploration of the heart, of love, and what that means for gay people. It is sensitive and tender, a deep exploration of the human heart manifested in the gay orientation. That is its true focus, and that is the book's unfolding joy.
The Audible book is narrated by prominent gay writer, director, and actor, Charlie David. His delivery is crisp, and clear, and sure. It is a pleasure to listen to from beginning to end.
