The role players - Dorien Grey

Dick and his lover, Jonathan, finally manage to take a holiday, and it is, to some extent, a sentimental journey for Dick -- it is to New York City, the site of former adventures, and where his former lover is now settled in with a new lover, Max, who happens to be involved in a theatre company. So Dick and Jonathan fly in for opening night, but also arrive soon after one of the original cast is murdered -- gunned down with a shot in the back, and ending up face down in a car park. It seems Dick can't even have a holiday without playing his usual role of sleuth, and there is also a different kind of role playing as well...
