Summary

Welcome to Hurricane Bay, Florida, where the act of arson isn't uncommon. When a popular gay bar, the Flaming Flamingo, burns to the ground with bartender Rudy inside, fear rocks the Gulf-side community. Bar owner Peter Rotunda wants to learn who destroyed his business and committed murder. Soon after the incident, Rotunda hires adorable and sexy private investigator Axle Dupree to take the case.
Axle is a fresh private eye with exemplary charm. Not only can he woo the pants off his boyfriend Casey, but also just about every other guy in town. Soon a list of alleged suspects builds: wealthy Laura Monigal, who has a history of arson; mysterious faux-cowboy Clifton Monigal; a Daisy Dukes-wearing circus performer; and a "fluff" romance writer. 
As June unfolds, conversations are sharp, road trips into the Everglades become overwhelming, and spying is necessary. But after applying heat to the suspects, Axle learns who the murderer is ... and so much more about his community.
Available since: 09/20/2015.
Print length: 181 pages.

    Tommy Johnson becomes part of a loving family when he's lucky enough to be adopted out of the foster system. He's the proverbial nerd who tends to fade into the background, and while he might wish Zack Jones, the jock who is football royalty in their little town, would want to date him, he knows that's impossible, especially when Zack goes west to college and Tom goes south. Tom was never the sort of person to draw attention to himself; once he graduates, this makes him the perfect candidate for the Washington Bureau of Intelligence and Security. He enjoys his work until he's almost killed, so he returns home to take the most boring job he can find.
    Zack's homelife was never ideal, so he found solace with a friend, until that friend abruptly disappeared from his life. To compensate, Zack becomes the epitome of jockdom, eventually earning a scholarship to a prestigious Midwestern college. An unlucky tackle on the football field leaves him with a badly broken femur, putting an end to his hopes of one day going pro. Rather than brood on the unfairness of life, he and some fellow jocks create a band and, after graduation begin to tour the country, becoming wildly popular as The Broken Legs. He enjoys his career until writer's block puts a halt to his songwriting. And then one day, a package from home reminds him of his lost friend, and "Lyin' in the Green Grass," the song that results from this eureka moment, leads to a resurgence of his music. 
    The problem is the name he's added to the song is Tommy Johnson, and it puts Tom into the crosshairs of a deadly adversary. All Tom knows is if he's going to be miserable, so is Zack Jones, and he sets out to track down the illusive singer. What will happen when the two men finally meet after all these years? And what about the adversary who plans to make sure Tom Johnson winds up dead?

    "Hmmm, an alien, an angel, and a dead prophet. Welcome. We've been expecting you. Please come in." 
      
    Operating a piece of heavy machinery, for example, a time machine under the influence of tainted human blood, is never a good idea, especially if my oldest friend and onboard computer, Lasitor, vowed to protect not only me but my bloodline for eternity. 
      
    This is my story. If you haven't figured that out by now, I feel sorry for you and your parents. Anyhow, this is how I found my soulmate by accident in a time and place not written down in your human history books.  
      
    My story comes with a warning label. It is a time travel, speculative science fiction fantasy—I'm spelling it out for those slow to grasp things like this. It contains elements that might shock or confuse you. Your human history about where you came from, and where you think you are going, might or might not be as you imagined. The explicit, graphic depictions of my love life and my travels are unsuitable for young, sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex. 
      
    Thank you to the wonderful author who has taken the time to meticulously document everything.

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE 
     
     
     
    It's said the simplest solution is usually the right one—but there's nothing simple about the complications that arise when their primary suspect for the white rabbit killer shows up on Malcolm and Seong-Jae's doorstep, dead and mutilated beyond recognition. All it takes is one body to make their entire case timeline fall apart. 
     
     
     
    Unless it's not the body of their suspect at all. 
     
     
     
    With a suspiciously cooperative Aanga Joshi on board, Malcolm and Seong-Jae take a trip into the white rabbit's past in the hopes of predicting his future. Nothing can divert them from their course—not decoys, not lies, not even the discovery of motives driving the killer's choice of victim. 
     
     
     
    Until one fateful phone call. 
     
     
     
    And a connection that could spell the end for the people they love. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
