Summary:

A chance letter sparks off a transatlantic literary romance between two writers, one British, one American, in which they share their unhealthy and unfashionable passions for military men, cruising and cats.

Mark Simpson reveals the slow collapse of his hopeless relationship with a serving Royal Marine and the outraged response to Anti-Gay; while Steven Zeeland chronicles his doomed attachment to his psycho-Marine boyfriend and his love-triangle rivalry with Andrew Cunanan, gay serial-killer and Gianni Versace's assassin. Funny, insightful and scandalous, The Queen Is Dead will outrage some and make others laugh out loud.
