In the second Boystown collection, Chicago private investigator Nick Nowak finds himself involved with a young man who murdered his stepfather but refuses to assist in his own defense, hired to find the murderer of a dead porno star, and, in a case that traps him between the two men he loves, searching for a serial killer’s only living victim. Set in the second half of 1981, Nick juggles his deepening relationship with Detective Bert Harker with the return of his ex, Daniel Laverty. Which man will he choose? And will he be able to?
From Miz Love Reviews, “Our gorgeous slut is back in Boystown 2, another great book from Marshall Thornton. The voice is just as dreamy as in book 1, with quick wit and a fantastic peek into Nick’s inner psyche that had me laughing, nodding, and relating in many ways. I love the honesty from this guy, where he says what many of us are thinking.”
From Jenre at Three Dollar Bill Reviews, “Overall, I thought this book was an engrossing read which contained a very flawed hero. I may not have liked Nick at times, but he was certainly compelling enough as a character to keep me reading the book. Those who are looking for a set of downbeat, hard-boiled mysteries or those who read and liked Boystown 1 will really like this book. I did and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.”
