Product Description
Photographer Kay Farrow sees the world in black and white - literally: she has a rare eye condition that makes her unable to discern colours.
The brutal murder of street hustler Tim, the beautiful boy who is the subject of Kay's latest book of photographs, sends her on a dark voyage into San Francisco's erotic underbelly - she's sure this is not just a routine street killing.
Moving with her camera among the sexual outlaws, both male and female, who populate San Francisco's gay bars and SM clubs, Kay pieces together Tim's bizarre life and mysterious death - and finally confronts her own demons in a shattering climax ...

Format:Paperback
I picked this up by chance and couldnt put it down. I thought it would be the usual crime book, but no, totally original, totally gripping. The lead character is strong but likable, if a little naive. Strong storyline that is hard to guess. A great read.
Format:Paperback
I read this book a few years ago, and even though I have read countless books since, this one has always remained at the back of my head. It is the sort of book you just can't put down. Well written with such detail that you can almost feel part of it. A gritty tale about murder, sex, power and families with a dash of mystery and magic! I really recommend this book. It has something for everyone.
Format:Paperback
You fall in love with the story teller right a way similarly to the way you feel towards Miss Smilla in Peter Hoeg's book.
It is a solid crime book that brings San Francisco to life

Great Psychological Crime Novel!
This book is utterly un-put-downable! Kay Farrow is a great heroine, and the intricate plot and sense of place (San Francisco) creates a mood rarely found in this type of fiction. Read more

Excellent, out of the ordinary plot
Intriguing story-line with characters of today mixing with key characters in a series of murders that occured 15 years ago. Is there a link? What is as it seems? Read more
