Pussy's Bow
By
Neal Drinnan
Three men who share a stunning art deco mansion
have their lives tossed into turmoil when, during a typical evening of
mild excess, one of them is set upon by a gang of gay-bashing teens. The
arrival of the other two send most of the teens scattering, but one of
the bashers is accidentally killed in the ensuing struggle. Now the three
have a body to hide and secrets to keepnot an easy task when the
pregnant girlfriend of the dead teen shows up at their house looking for
her missing beau.
Further complicating things is their handsome, naive,
and too-curious houseboy, whose arrival has already upset the household's
dynamic, and their next-door neighbor and good friend, a woman with appetites
of her own. When passions run riot in a house that hides too many secrets,
it isn't long before everyone's had it up to pussy's bow, and something
disastrous is bound to happen.
"Libidos swing out of control, tempers fray, and
the best friendships are threatened...a sparkling, sexy new read."
-- Outrage
"Obsessed with morality, intent on exposing the
conditional nature of relationships, and fascinated by the devils within
each of us, Drinnan bites off more than most writers can chew...a roller
coaster ride of action and danger that explores corruption, racism,
and alternatives to traditional family values."
-- Melbourne Star-Observer
