Product Description
Synopsis
When Phillie Liebowitz's lusty screenwriter partner dives headfirst into an empty pool, Phillie rules out suicide and delves into a suburbia pockmarked with sexual deviance, drugs, violence, and more dead bodies to find out the truth about her murder. Reprint. NYT.
From the Back Cover
‘SEX IS THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE IN MY LIFE. AND TO THINK I KNEW ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT SEX UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I STARTED A NEW LIFE…’
That was the enigmatic message Jack Murphy left behind before taking a dive in to his empty swimming pool. When his screenwriting partner Phillie Liebowitz looks into the mystery behind his death, nothing has prepared him for the dark trail of illicit relationships he uncovers when he retraces Jack’s last – and most dangerous – sexual odyssey, or for the effects his search has on his own life.
Every bond he once held sacred, every commitment that kept him in check, is about to be broken as he follows Jack’s late-night footsteps into a secret world, and meets the midnight partner who might just turn out to be the most dangerous passion of his life.
“Delving into a world of drugs and S&M, 'The Midnight Partner' is an absorbing, fast-paced mystery with a finale worthy of a Hollywood Blockbuster”
USA TODAY
“An excellent book…unusually wellrendered”

Format:Paperback
Bart Davis's "The Midnight Partner" was a pleasant surprise, an unlikely screenwriter turned hardboiled detective investigating the alleged suicide of his writing partner and, predictably, getting more than he bargained for. There's a touch of Old Boys Network, some neuroticism not unlike Woody Allen, and a moderate measure of the kind of sex a boy from a good Jewish home is not meant to know about.

One of the few books around which was impossible to put down
26 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
Be warned, this book is one that should deffinatly not be judged by a short paragraph on the plot. Like many astounding books, when you try and tell somebody about the story line it comes off sounding tacky or dodgy. However, do not be fooled. This book is more that sex, and suicide. When reading it you find yourself relating almost to the characters which is often a lacking quality in books. Also the plot itself and the wild twists are very unpredictable which makes it an exciting and incredible read. I'm not going to tell you about the plot because that would ruin it for you, but my advice to you is do read it. It is worth it. To those of you who have read it and enjoyed it, may i suggest you also read "Plan B, by Jonathon Tropper" and "Secret History, by Donna Tartt"
And ignore the age, i am in fact 15 but am not registered as a member of Amazon and therefore couldn't write a review.

One of the best I've ever read!
12 Mar 1998
Format:Hardcover
This book has it all. Suspense, action, sex, and love. As a big fan of Clancy, I usually read political thrillers, but this book make me a huge fan of psychological thrillers also. The main character Phillie is a joy to read about. I recommend this book to all mature audiences.
Terrific Erotic Thriller
26 May 1998
Format:Paperback
As the publisher of the audio book version (no longer available) of this book, I am very familiar with it and it's wonderfully, exciting and thrilling story. Once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down. It's got sex, plot, characterization, sex, and a fantastic ending...I always thought it would make a terrific movie.
