The Flipping Game

Back Cover DescriptionIn the glittering nightlife of Manhattan, where beauty, wit, and attitude are currency, three young men believe they have invented the ultimate game.After a drunken argument over who among them is truly the most fabulous, the trio creates "The Flipping Game." The rules are simple-and outrageous: each will attempt to seduce a straight, married man. The one who succeeds first earns the crown and the title they all crave-Queen of New York.At first it's just a reckless challenge fueled by cocktails, ego, and the thrill of forbidden conquest.Then the first man turns up dead.What began as a joke suddenly becomes a homicide investigation, and NYPD Detective Timothy McFarland is assigned the case. McFarland is the last person the LGBTQIA community wants leading the investigation. Old-school, bitter, and carrying prejudices he barely bothers to hide, he sees the victims as participants in a foolish game that should never have existed.But when a second body is discovered, the outrage erupts across the city. Activists demand answers. The media descends. Pressure mounts inside the department.And somewhere in Manhattan, a killer is still playing.As the last surviving player realizes the crown he chased may cost him his life, Detective McFarland faces a decision that will define him forever: cling to his resentment... or remember the oath he swore when he pinned on the badge.Because in The Flipping Game, the title of Queen of New York may come with a far more ancient tradition-Dethronement by death.The Flipping Game A provocative LGBTQIA crime drama about ego, prejudice, redemption, and a deadly game no one can win.
