Plume (1988), Edition: First Edition, 1 pages
Description
It begins as a routine trick: two guys on a beach after midnight. Instant attraction, chemical overload, but in the heat of the moment they are interrupted. Brutalised by police, they fight back, a cop dies and Nick and Jeff are on the run through Los Angeles at its worst. James Robert Baker's cult first novel is at once an anarchist's howl of rage at the oppression and soulless culture of Hollywood, and a noir thriller peppered with hilarious vignettes and ironic insights. James Robert Baker is the author of 'Tim & Pete' (Fourth Estate). He killed himself in 1997.

Two men get more than they had expected after hooking up on a Memorial Day weekend. They are framed for murder by the police. A nosey neighbor calls the cops on them saying that they are fighting. From there it soon turns into a hostage situation with one of the officers being shot by a sniper.
