KickAssQueer is a gay Web site thousands go to for news, gossip, and as a forum to exchange often heated opinions about GLBT life in America. When one of KAQ's editors is savagely murdered, it's PI Don Strachey's job to uncover whether one of the site's many harsh critics, gay or straight, is responsible for this young man's death---and possibly for other brutal assaults on gay men in and around New York City. What Strachey is soon forced to confront is a side of the Internet that is not just disturbing but sometimes downright lethal.
