Summary

While working undercover, Langham thought he’d catch some kind of break. He thought wrong.
Years ago, Langham was on a case where missing men were being buried in other people’s graves. He’s now working undercover at a cemetery, trying to glean information. Is someone who works at the graveyard involved? Will new bodies be dumped there now that men have started going missing again? He isn’t sure, but when a man starts staring at him through the railings, Langham’s instinct kicks in. Something isn’t right.
Before he can do anything about it, he’s kidnapped and bundled into a van. Later, his lover Oliver is shoved into the van, too, and they’re taken on a long journey. With the dead remaining silent and not giving Oliver anything to go on that will help them in their dilemma, the pair realise they’re on their own.
Left hanging by their wrists from a cellar ceiling, the two men acknowledge that maybe this time their luck really has run out. But what they don’t see is what’s going on in the big house they’re incarcerated in, and that maybe, just maybe, someone might be on their side…

This powerful, observant memoir will stand as one of the definitive testaments of our digital, information-driven age.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

    The year is 1995. Thirty-nine-year-old Brian Moss lives alone in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, his survival in the city barely rising above the marginal. He’s in danger of becoming a fixture on his block, someone not registered by those around him. Brian hasn’t succeeded in his ambition of becoming an art historian, but neither has he fully forsaken it. He still thinks about his unfinished dissertation, but mostly at odd moments—on his way to the piers at dusk or to late-night clubs after work. Brian cherishes his independence, yet every now and then he recalls, with a shock of recognition, his father’s appellation for him, “Mr. Artiste, Mr. Overgrown Boy.” Over three seasons—autumn through spring—events conspire to show Brian that a richer life is within his grasp. Returning to his childhood home in the Midwest when his father has a stroke, Brian finds the scale of emotion between them weighted first one way, then the other. While there, he uncovers a surprising family secret that gives him a much-altered view of his past. And then, slowly, Brian enters into a relationship with a man who challenges his feelings about romantic love and disrupts his pattern of random late-night encounters. Brian Moss’s inner voice takes hold of the reader from the first page. Grossman’s rendering of his character is a tour de force. She places Brian firmly within his beloved city by balancing the harsher realities of urban life against the great aesthetic pleasures that can be drawn from it. As Brian’s life becomes illuminated within this set passage of time, so does the reader’s understanding of an ordinary, extraordinary man.

    Nikki: I left for Cali the night of my graduation with nothing but a pink boa, a pair of strappy gold heels, and my silver eyeshadow from Sally Beauty Supply. I sang for pennies on Hollywood Boulevard in my broke and desperate days. Now at twenty-six, I've got more Grammys than Madonna and a growing empire. 
    Fame was everything I expected and nothing that I ever wanted. At the end of the day I'm on my own, with an overbearing manager and security team as my only friends. I made this life, and now I live in it alone. 
    When a stalker starts following me, and the paparazzi ambush me outside of a nightclub, I'm at my breaking point. That's when Fox Lee appears-out of nowhere-tall and gorgeous with salt-and-pepper hair and a wicked smile. 
    Fox: Nikki Rippon is the most fascinating man I've met in years, and I count Robert De Niro as a close friend. I'd like to save Nikki-and savor his cherry pink lips. But I need to keep things cool and professional, even if he's the smartest, funniest, and sexiest man in my contacts list. He's at least a decade too young for me, and he needs legal representation against the hellions taking advantage of him-not a boyfriend.
