Nazi intrigue in a homosexual brothel . . . a spy thriller that breaks new ground."-Kirkus Reviews Hank Fayette, Seaman Second Class, had enlisted in his Texas hometown, used his shore leave to visit a movie house on 42nd Street, and ended up in a gay brothel near Manhattan's West piers. It was the wrong place to be at the wrong time. When this big, lanky blond with a country boy's drawl-and a country boy's hard muscular body-couldn't fight his way clear of the Shore Patrol who raided the place, he figured he was on his way to the brig or a dishonorable discharge. But in 1942, a few months after Pearl Harbor, the Navy was more interested in capturing spies than in punishing "sex offenders, " and Hank was just the kind of sailor they had in mind. Their offer to Hank was simple: go back to the brothel, work undercover as a prostitute, and risk your life to entrap Nazi spies. This erotic, suspenseful novel captures the big-band feel of New York City in the forties, the intensity of a nation at war, and the passion of men for their country-and for each other. "Entertaining, sexy, and touching . . ."-Stephen McCauley "Strong, action-filled . . . a tightly knit plot . . . a very engaging story about murder and intrigue that is hard to put down."-Lambda Rising Book Report
