	The Riverside Villas Murder	A classic armchair mystery, THE RIVERSIDE VILLAS MURDER has for its hero a 14-year-old boy, Peter Furneaux. Like all 14 year olds he is hovering hopefully on the brink between sexual inexperience and initiation, and in this book, under our very eyes, Peter suddenly becomes an adult! A crime, truly murderous, is committed by an unknown and almost unidentifiable assailant. Only Peter begins to guess at the truth--a dangerous truth--which leads him to the river bank by moonlight. A delightful book, and as with all works by Kingsley Amis, guaranteed to please.

	Frost	Frost is more than an absorbing love story and an outstanding exposition of homosexual passion and tenderness by the modern master of the genre; it's a bitter parable of the lengths to which a political egomaniac may go as he claws his way to the top of the heap. MUST reading for every individual of whatever sex who feels threatened by the peril to personal freedom in America today! McGraw was great at manipulating people to achieve his ambitions, with scandal, blackmail, and even murder- until he crossed swords with his son Frost, who refused to stay in the closet and mind his own business. Then McGraw found out that some of the pawns in his grim game of power had a weapon of their own, which he could never begin to understand. AMOR VINCIT OMNIA, eventually!

	Skin Lane	At 47, Mr. F's working life on London's Skin Lane is one governed by calm, precision and routine. So, when he starts to have frightening, recurring nightmares, he does his best to ignore them. The images that appear in his dream are disturbing - Mr. F can't for the life of him think where they have come from. After all, he's a perfectly ordinary middle-aged man. As London's crooked backstreets begin to swelter in the long, hot summer of 1967, Mr. F's nightmare becomes an obsession. A chance encounter adds a face to the body that nightly haunts him, and the torments of his sweat-drenched nights lead him - and the reader - deeper into a terrifying labyrinth of rage, desire and shame. Part fairy-tale, part compelling evocation of a now-lost London, Nell Bartlett's long-awaited third novel is his fiercest piece of writing yet: cruel, erotic, and tender.

	Body Blows	Bisexual actor/hustler Cal Lynch moved to San Francisco to get away from a bad affair in New York, and to vanquish memories of growing up in Oklahoma and of studying architecture at Yale. Things aren't much better now, though; he has a few acting jobs, but most of his time is spent selling his body or working out. When he kills a male client in self-defense, Cal runs away again, first to his hometown, where he encounters old friends and his brother, and then to L.A., where he becomes tentatively involved with a woman. A private eye he has assumed is trailing him for the murder turns out to have been sent by a worried ex-lover, and Cal returns home to the Bay, learning that running away from murder is not unlike running away from life.

In Moon Beach, Nathan Christie is an anomaly: he saves people from drowning. In Moon Beach, Jed Morgan is in his element, following a career that takes him from blackmail to commissioned murder.
