In 1975, John Knight, a newspaper reporter and wealthy heir to the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain, and a closeted gay as well, was murdered in his fashionable apartment in Philadelphia by 19-year-old Felix Melendez, his young lover at the time. The original object had been to rob Knight, and Melendez was accompanied by two older men, Salvatore Soli and Steven Maleno. Bell explores the world of young, tough-acting street tricks as preferred by Knight as well as the gay bar scene and its promiscuity and the more genteel social life as enjoyed by middle class queens. Bell points out that these categories are not mutually exclusive and uses his own experiences while covering the Knight murder case and Soli's in Philadelphia as examples - and often the lead example - illustrating his gay world and relating and contrasting it to Knight's closeted life.
