Fatal Shadows: The Adrien English Mysteries 1

Thirty-two-year-old gay bookseller Adrien English searches for love between the pages. As a sensitive intellectual with a heart condition, Adrien's personal life is gathering dust on the shelves. But when police name him the prime suspect in the brutal murder of his friend and employee, Adrien doesn't expect his best hope for romance to be assigned to the case... Detective Jake Riordan is hungry to climb the ranks. All he has to do for a promotion is nail the handsome bookstore owner for an obvious crime of passion. If only he could stop fantasizing about the suspect instead of the "normal" wife and family his career demands... As Riordan's investigation heats up and the suspect insists on his innocence, the detective doubts both Adrien's guilt and his ability to resist the man's understated charms. Can they turn the crime into passion, or will a killer on the loose write their tragic end? Fatal Shadows is the first book in The Adrien English gay mystery series. If you like sensitive romance, snappy dialogue, and noir-style detectives, you'll love Josh Lanyon's evocative novel.
