Overview

Jamie Katz is a certified Florida Man and swamp creature, even if he is living in California and begrudgingly working as a writer for his two-time ex-husband Paul's porn outfit, Scorch Studios. It wouldn't be a bad gig except for Paul's new wife and second-in-command, an uptight Southern Belle named Tater. When Paul is found shot to death in the alley behind Scorch, every clue points to Jamie. Which is insane because why would Jamie kill one of the only two men he ever loved? Okay, yes, the obscenely expensive wedding rings Paul desperately needed back were hiding among Jamie's nipple ring collection. And, sure, he was still sleeping with Paul, and Paul had just fired him. And, you know what, yeah, Jamie had just blown up Paul's life and possibly marriage after getting fired. Of course he had! What, being hot isn't enough, now he has to be a saint too? Well, Jamie hasn't survived four decades of his own bad ideas to go down for something he didn't do. Between a jealous Tater and Scorch's sketchy crew and wild porn stars, there are still plenty of suspects. So, if the cops are hell-bent on proving his guilt, then he's just gonna have to solve this case himself. And if Jamie's brand of investigation means jumping into bed with every guy in California, hey, that's just a hard day's work.

Reviews

""Grady's novel is an unvarnished portrait of queer desire and the messy work of becoming accountable to the people you love. She's crafted a protagonist who's simultaneously self-aware and self-sabotaging, his sardonic narration cutting through sentiment with brutal honesty, especially when he reflects on his pattern of destroying relationships before they can destroy him."" -Kirkus Reviews ""Avril Grady's ""Sicko"" proves that a novel can be filthy, funny, and unexpectedly piercing about the difference between wanting love and understanding it."" -Demetris Papadimitropoulos, New York City-Based Book Reviewer ""An absolutely unhinged storyline that keeps getting better and better."" -Booksprout ""Sicko is an extremely fun read, compulsively easy to get through, leaving you wondering what in the hell did I just finish?"" -NetGalley ""I fell totally in love with Jamie. All my expectations were blown out of the water. Read this now!"" -Gay Romance Reviews ""A recommended read for those who want to go on a fast-paced ride and finish shellshocked."" -NetGalley ""I thought it would be just another mystery read with a gay main character. Whatever this book is I was not expecting it ... It was absolutely wild."" -Gay Romance Reviews ""The story balances outrageous humour with a surprisingly bittersweet look at turning forty and facing the consequences of a lifetime of questionable choices. Jamie's voice is sharp, self-aware, and often hilariously delusional yet there's vulnerability underneath the bravado ... I need more!"" -Booksprout
