A Sticky End to a Hit Murder Mystery Triology

Best friends and sometimes lovers Edward “Mitch” Mitchell and Harry "Boy" Morgan have been in terrible jams before—their adventures of murder, mystery, and unstoppable sex have made The Back Passage and The Secret Tunnel international bestellers. In A Sticky End, Mitch must face the possibility that his chum is involved in the chain of events that led to the suicide of Boy's own colleague and secret paramour, Frank Bartlett. To absolve Boy, Mitch races around London finding clues while bedding the many men eager to lend a hand—or more. As Mitch says himself, "Holmes has his fiddle, Poirot has his liqueurs—I have cock. We all have our methods." The policemen, working class gigolos, steam room bathers, embezzlers and blackmailers that Mitch comes across create a tasty mystery and satisfying erotic romp.

"The book has all the intricacies befitting a Sherlock Holmes mystery and Mitchell has a libido that never fails him." —Lambda Literary
