He has a great eye for period detail without overwhelming the reader and so the speech and clothes of the characters set the scene, whilst the cagey behaviour of both men show of a time when men cannot be too clear about their feelings for fear of prison. When the vice cops raid the club, Jack is rescued by the shop owner, Mr Cooley.Īll the things I love about this author are present in this book too. Fortunately for him they are next door to each other. Jack has two loves, cheap books and visiting a certain gentleman’s club. I love Lucius Parhelion’s historical stories and was delighted to see that he had produced a new story for the charity sips at TQ this year. Cooley the bookseller, and their unexpected binding, than playing the tough guy. He never would have predicted that dealing with the boys from Vice would depend more on Mr. Jack returned from Korea as a young renegade who might love his cheap paperbacks but who also loves showing off his leather jacket in the lavender bars.
