Crimes of Passion
In 1985, Brad and Frank have built a great life together in Los Angeles. Brad was on the pro bike racing circuit and Frank came out to the West Coast to work in the music industry. They met at a bike event, shortly before a crash ended Brad's racing aspirations, and set up a nice life together. But Frank has some skeletons in the closet, and they're about to come rattling out and refuse to be stuffed back in. Brad will learn why, fifteen years ago, Frank Cassidy fled from home ... and suddenly they're seriously considering running away again. At least until they get their house back. Here's a first for Mel Keegan: a situation comedy rich with human detail and sparkling with very human humor.

I never bought an eBook before, so didn't know what to expect of them. For those who're interested: an eBook appears to be virtually indentical to the paper version, with one exception. It doesn't involve paper! One can see a network situaton comedy in CRIMES OF PASSION. Take two great gay guys and add the parents (or grandparents) of one of them, retired, eccentric, out-of-touch in the way they approach the world in general and a gay couple in particular. The predicament invites a gentle kind of humor that's funny because it's very close to the hearts of so many of us. I would defy anyone not to feel kinship here. These are great characters, too. If I have one lonely criticism, it's that tremendous characters like Brad and Frank (fully backstoried, completely fleshed out, drawn in deliciously meticulous detail) only appear in something as brief as a ChapBook! Would it be too presumptuous to say, "Encore!" |
