  A gay man returns to his conservative hometown in a tale of memory and murder inspired by true events: “An emotionally resonant, page-turning story.”—BooklistSome Go Hungry is a fictional account drawn from the author’s own experiences working in his family’s provincial Indiana restaurant, and wrestling with his sexual orientation, in a town that was rocked by the scandalous murder of his gay high school classmate in the 1980s.Now a young man who has embraced his sexuality, Grey Daniels returns from Miami Beach, Florida, to Fort Sackville, Indiana, to run Daniels’ Family Buffet for his ailing father. Understanding that knowledge of his sexuality may reap disastrous results on his family's half-century-old restaurant legacy—a popular Sunday dinner spot for the after-church crowd—Grey struggles to live his authentic, openly gay life. But he is truly put to the test when his former high school lover—and fellow classmate of the murdered student—returns to town as the youth pastor and choir director of the local fundamentalist Christian church.Some Go Hungry is the story of a man forced to choose between the happiness of others and his own joy, all the while realizing that compromising oneself—sacrificing your soul for the sake of others—is not living, but death.“This literary mystery follows Grey Daniels on a return trip to his hometown of Fort Sackville, Indiana where, decades earlier, one of his gay classmates was brutally murdered. While visiting, Grey must confront a painful past riddled in homophobia, secrets, religious hypocrisy and fear.”—Queerty“Some Go Hungry is at its best when confronting religious prejudice, and is even pulse-quickening when the narrator sits through one of his friend's sermons aimed directly at him....Only someone who has grown up in rural America could write so convincingly of the pressures there. It's also refreshing to find a book that relates the experience of being gay somewhere other than in a large city.”—Gay & Lesbian Review “Tells an important tale that in some ways is timeless, and in other ways could have been ripped from today's headlines.”—Mark Childress, author of Crazy in Alabama

  When a mysterious mosquito-borne virus wipes out a community of indigenous Hawaiians on the tiny Pacific island of Ni'ihau, it has all the hallmarks of a field test of a state-sponsored biological weapon on unwitting human guinea-pigs. Eager to make his mark, the director of MECCAR's new sister centre in Indonesia solicits Giles's help to identify the perpetrators. Fiona's laboratory skills show it to be a Mexican strain of the West Nile virus, a common and usually innocuous species, engineered to carry a permanently active form of the Achilles gene. Having spotted Stephen Salomon at a virology congress in Mexico City when en route to Jakarta, she and Giles waste no time retracing their steps. Molecular analysis of a blood stain from a swatted mosquito in a ship's cabin, a day trip to the Maya ruins of Palenque, and an encounter with a deserted Mercedes Benz sow the seeds for a 3000 km road journey through rainforest, mountains, and desert in pursuit of the suspects. At the end of their journey, as they follow the flight path of a private jet from Tijuana on Fiona's smartphone, they know they must act swiftly and boldly if they are to avert a humanitarian disaster.
