Synopsis
In this chilling mystery, the terrifying specter of AIDS combines with blackmail and murder to overshadow the surreal world of California politics - and the secrets long buried in a senatorial candidate's past.
As the young, vital, and self-centered Charles returns - after escaping for a few hours to his local bar - to the home he shares with his dying lover, Randy, he rails at the injustice of his situation and wonders how much longer it will be before he is free. His reverie is interrupted - permanently - when a vicious young man steps from the shadows armed with a lead pipe. Though Frank Hastings at first believes the murder to be a random gay-bashing, he soon discovers a complex trail of motives and money leading into the political arena and finds he must step warily through a maze of not-so-veiled threats.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 245 pages. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine over orange boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Charles Hardaway climbs the hill to his house, immediately missing the bright lights and conversation of the bar and dreading the return to his lover, who is slowly dying of AIDS. But Hardaway's self-pity is interrupted by a pipe-wielding stranger, who crushes his skull before slipping away. It's nighttime in the Castro, and another gay man has been sent to his grave. Homicide lieutenant Frank Hastings is tempted to write the killing off as another heinous instance of gay-bashing, but witnesses say the killer was alone, and seemed to know the victim. Digging into Hardaway's past, Hastings finds evidence that he was a blackmailer who pushed one of his targets to the breaking point. In a neighborhood where disease and hatred claim more and more lives every day, it seems one man has been done in by plain old-fashioned greed. Condition: Fine in like jacket.
