Aprašymas

If the past doesn't kill you, the present will.

In this third book of the Gabriel's World series, Gabriel, gay NYC private investigator, and bisexual boyfriend Joel, an artist, are still settling into their renewed relationship. Gabriel is taking on dangerous cases, and Joel is earning some deserved fame because of his art--and the events of the previous story, Two-Faced Woman.

Joel finds out his mother has asked about him. Joel's parents threw him out 17 years ago, having found out about his sexual orientation. Now he feels a need to confront his parents, although visiting the past terrifies him.

Joel finds his mother is anxious to reconnect with him, but his father is still hostile. After Joel and Gabriel discover Joel's father is involved in a corruption scheme, a shocking turn of events follows that reverses Gabriel and Joel’s roles. As they investigate further, they are pitted against a notorious New Jersey killer for hire. But perhaps more dangerously, they are also stalked by a former police detective--the man who first abused Joel--and who has a twisted endgame in mind.

In this story, the current investigation is intertwined with a continuing excursion into Joel's history, capturing the ordeal of how the past and present can collide head-on. In this, Joel might be to move past what's haunted him lifelong, or he might be about to fatally collide with evil. The Book of Joel features the necessity of facing the past to overcome it.

Gabriel’s World offers a compelling community of characters, in stories that explore the extremes and complexity of good and evil. The stories feature strong LGBT characters and mature, adult themes. NOTE: The Book of Joel contains adult content including violence, language, sexual situations, and sexual violence.
