Quintin Pearson is a gay American living in London, who loses
himself in his work as a copywriter, trying to recover from the sudden
disappearance of a relationship he thought would last forever. An invitation to
a reception for the American ambassador becomes a life-changing evening, when
the ambassador is murdered, and Quintin meets a mysterious Italian man who
seems to somehow be connected to the crime. Subsequent events see Quintin
traveling to Belgium to rendezvous with Luca, the man he met at the reception,
and to whom he is feeling a definite mutual attraction. Quintin finds himself
working with intelligence agents trying to solve the murder of the ambassador,
and perhaps preventing another death already planned.
I found the novel to be a definite page-turner of a mystery,
well-written and exciting. You can feel the energy Quintin gets from this
dramatic detour from his usually boring life. Light erotic content is not out
of place, and adds to the enjoyment of the story. I give it five stars out of five.
