It Takes Two: A Novel

A wonderfully realised 'why-done-it' mystery set in 1940s Florida, Dan Ewing is the manager of the Caloosa Hotel, which privately caters to the very special needs of certain male guests, and Bud Wright is a police detective whose passionate desire for Dan is in conflict with his desire to shut Dan's business down. When one black man and one white man are suddenly killed in an apparent murder suicide, Dan and Bud find themselves up against local business, political and religious leaders as they are entrenched in one small southern's town's deeply hidden secrets.
