Richard Stevenson! Gay private eye Donald Strachey becomes embroiled in scandal and
murder.

REVIEW

You are hereby invited to figure out "whodunit" when watching Third Man Out, a gay
murder mystery featuring P.I. Donald Strachey played by out actor Chad Allen ("Dr. Quinn,
Medicine Woman") The series of books written by Richard Stevenson, are now classics of
the gay mystery genre, this is the first in an anticipated series of adaptations. All set in the
Albany region, the books feature a gay male couple, Donald (Allen,) the private investigator
and his lover Ronnie (Carey,) a legislative aide.

Strachey and his lover are in the midst of restoring their elegant Albany row house when
Donald gets offered a much-needed, but distasteful job. This story opens as Donald has
been hired to investigate attacks on an activist who specializes in "outing” prominent
politicians, an activity our hero finds quite nasty. The activist John Rutka is played by Jack
Wetherall, familiar to "Queer as Folk" fans as Vic Grassi, Michael's uncle. Strachey
abandons his new duty when he feels that Rutka is staging the threats against him. When
Rutka turns up dead, Strachey is faced with an extensive list of enemies all with enough
motive to kill.

Featuring a juicy cameo by porn star Matthew Rush, a handsome gay male couple and a
murder most foul, this is one film you won't want to miss.

Scott Cranin

"Gay television network here! comes up with this very clever, entertaining teleflick,
'Third Man Out: A Donald Strachey Mystery,' based on a series of books by Richard
Stevenson about a gay detective. There are to be more in the series, and if they're as
much fun as 'Third,' there's hardly a reason to miss any of them."

The Hollywood Reporter

"Hunky out actor Chad Allen (Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman) plays Strachey to perfection.
It's one of the best pieces of casting to come out of Tinsel Town in decades."
