Description: "What is the measure of a man's life? Success? Love? Money? Friendship? Music producer Ray Henriques has them all and more, but lately it's not enough. But Ray is not the only one on a quest for deeper understanding of life's extraordinary landscape. For Jesse, Ray's lover of 12 years, it is a quest accelerated by his imminent death from AIDS. And for young married father of three Mike Tedesco, it is a search for the heart of masculinity.

The sexual exploration that begins when Ray and Mike meet awakens a restlessness in both men that alters their future paths resoundingly. Marked by gracefully shifting points of view, deft use of wry humor, unexpected revelation, and moments of stunning loveliness, Onyx is a multifaceted exploration of inner lives, motivation, love, and the sometimes hollow center beneath a polished surface."--BOOK JACKET.
