Looker: A Novel
Clay charts the affairs of L.A.'s gay black upper crust in his tawdry third novel (after In Search of Pretty Young Black Men). Brando Heywood and Omar Stevens have been best friends since high school. Now in their forties, Omar, a celebrity journalist, juggles boy-toy liaisons and hanging in Griffith Park while celibate Brando concentrates on his career as a highly-respected entertainment lawyer. But when one of his client's lesbian partner kills a man after he rapes her, he takes the headline-stealing case. The trial holds together a series of mini-dramas, including the discovery of a steamy secret video of Brando and Omar's and Brando's barely below-the-surface feelings for one another. Readers who can keep their disbelief deeply buried will enjoy this erotic, high-stakes romp.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
