Vermilion (An Alyson Mystery)
by Nathan Aldyne
Category: Fiction

A dead young hustler is found with a lipstick-smeared handkerchief on the lawn of a queer-baiting legislator. Enter unlikely detectives Daniel Valentine and Clarissa Lovelace who discover links with some very kinky and deadly games as they trawl the sinister underworld of bars and baths, bondage and blackmail, in their search for the killer. Nathan Aldyne is a pseudonym used by Michael McDowell - the screenwriter of 'Beetlejuice' - and Dennis Schuetz.
