About this series
PI Mitch O'Reilly is hired by big time Hollywood director T.J. Mooney to follow his son Austin who is starting an acting career without riding the coattails of his powerful father. T.J. isn't happy his beloved son has changed his last name and chooses to live in a sketchy apartment and not the family mansion in Bel Air.
To Mitch it's another routine stakeout until Austin's body is found on the hill below the Hollywood Sign. Was the body left there to send a message? If so, deciphering that message could lead Mitch to solving the crime.
"Brad Shreve serves up a Chandler-esque Los Angeles full of show biz types and perverts, mansions and bad neighborhoods. At the center of it all is Mitch O'Reilly a deeply troubled detective with an attitude who can't find his way to the quiet life he craves." - Marshall Thornton, three time Lambda Award winner and author of the Boystown, and Pinx Video series.

- A Body in a Bathhouse: A Mitch O'Reilly Mystery, #1
1
On the verge of bankruptcy private investigator Mitch O'Reilly takes any gig that comes his way while running his Eye Spy Supply shop in a forgotten Los Angeles strip mall. After two tours in Afghanistan, Mitch's life amounts to running his store, coping with his fun-loving sister, Josie, and scoring with anonymous men he meets online. That changes when he gets a break. A beloved comedy scriptwriter is murdered at a bathhouse, and Mitch is hired to prove the innocence of the club custodian. Adapting from a two-bit gumshoe to a high-profile sleuth proves more challenging than he expected. Following leads from sprawling mansions to sketchy hoods is demanding but becomes more troublesome when deadly threats jeopardize the biggest opportunity of his career. This is a whodunnit mystery. This is an element of romance but do not expect this to be a m/m romance novel. "A Body in a Bathhouse is an accomplished work of LA noir---niftily plotted, atmospheric and sexy, often witty. I look forward to finding Mitch O'Reilly in further problematical venues." -Richard Stevenson, author of the Don Strachey PI novels.

Brad Shreve
A wordsmith, a voice, and an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. Brad's world is a mosaic of literature, audio stories, and a passion for inclusivity. Too young for his own good, Brad Shreve developed a love for art and political satire and became an avid fan of the Doonesbury comic strip. After taking art classes and designing his own strips he discovered he enjoyed writing the stories more than the visual art. His thoughts turned to being a writer someday. He became hooked on mystery novels by authors, such as Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton, Gregory Mcdonald and Robert B. Parker. Brad's world expanded when he discovered LGBTQ mysteries, and the list of authors who inspired him to write in the subgenre are too numerous to mention. He published his first novel in 2019. Brad was the host of the Queer Writers of Crime podcast, which is still available on all podcast apps, and he continues to podcast today. Brad lives with his husband Maurice in the California High Desert.
