Fiction
Just before dawn in Stone Harbor, Maine, two men meet
in the bathhouse in a wooded park. "So what do you have
in mind?" one asks. "A little surprise," the other answers
before beating him to death with a steel flashlight.
Newspaper editor John Quinn and his wife have returned
to his hometown to raise their son, but real estate prices
have soared and natives are being pushed out. Then a popular
politician and family man is murdered at a well-known gay
pickup spot. The victim was Quinn's childhood friend, Paul
Stanwood. Quinn insists Paul was only investigating a police
crackdown at the park. When the police chief and
others seem to ignore and downplay obvious clues, Quinn
takes matters into his own hands. Even though his wife's car
is vandalized and a source is severely beaten after he
speaks out on the hidden violence against gays, Quinn
refuses to stop looking for answers. With so many people
hiding secrets -- secrets some are willing to kill for --
Quinn has to find out the truth about his friend's murder
before he, too, is permanently silenced.
