JERY TILLOTSON

No matter where he goes, Kurt James trails tragedy and turmoil behind him. A gay witchhunt forces him to escape to New York City in l973 where he becomes the Big Apple's highest priced callboy. But after a breakdown, he seeks stability as the city's most popular tutor. When he takes a job at Darling Place--Manhattan's most glittering mansion on Fifth Avenue--he becomes embroiled in a scalding cauldron of jealousy as he falls in love with the ravishing David Darling--most handsome of the Wall Street tigers--and his brooding, troubled son, Claude. Mona Darling, mistress of Darling Place, becomes Kurt's worst enemy. David's close friendship with President Richard Nixon introduces Kurt to the powerbrokers of Washington and New York City. But when a vicious murder occurs at Darling Place, its brutality shocks the nation--and helps topple President Nixon from the White House. Only many years later does the astounding secret of the butchery become known--in an ending no one will ever forget!"
"Fascinating...written at a feverish pace...you can't put this one down! Incredible gallery of personalties from the l970s...and the fearless Kurt James becomes a modern hero as he battles sexual hypocrisy!"
