Description

A Sex Competition in European Bathhouses—What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Named A Favorite Book for 2022 by Out in Print!

What happens when you combine a tongue-in-cheek spoof of murder mysteries, reality TV romance competitions, and the live-streaming gay porn industry? You get The Grand Sex Tour Murders!

The Grand Sex Tour Murders follows an American serial killer as he stalks competitors in a live-streaming, gay sex competition taking place in many of Europe’s major bathhouses. Throughout this fictional memoir by the competition’s producer, we hear from the guilt-ridden producer, the self-righteous killer, and the increasingly terrified competitors.   Which of the competitors will be murdered in which city, and why? Can they do anything to protect themselves? How does the serial killer manage to get away with his rampage for so long? And who can stop him?

—Rainbow Book Reviews

“Hysterical and heartfelt…an intelligent, fascinating book…Jaffe has come up with yet another winner…Highly recommended!”

—Out in Print

“Jaffe’s written a page-turner with everything in it save the pictures!… A kind of psychological tour de force….At once a thriller and a comedy, this story also makes a pointed critique not just of gay life but of 21st-century culture….The Marquis de Sade returns for a wild ride through the 21st century. In The Grand Sex Tour Murders, Jaffe has blown the roof off contemporary erotica.”

—Trebor Healey, author of Faun and Sweet Son of Pan

“Be ready to laugh [and] cry…as the creative mind of author Daniel M. Jaffe puts visions that cannot be unseen into your virgin mind.”
