What is a detective to do when her murder victim is Mr. Global Leather, and all her suspects roam about the annual Global Leather contest in chokers, studded leather sashes, and harnesses? Shocked, amazed and alternately puzzled and amused, Detective Feldblum learns more about the kink underworld and herself in ways she never could imagine. A deliciously tongue-in-cheek murder mystery, The Killer Wore Leather is the most strapping invitation for readers to explore the private, erotic world of BDSM personalities and leather kinks.
Brilliant, bold and exquisitely kinky, Carrie's Story is an American Story of O that goes to the head of the class. Told in the whip-smart voice of a wickedly perceptive English major, this fully imagined and elegantly expressed erotic tale may well be the finest BDSM novel ever written. As Carrie's passions for irony, self-scrutiny and obedience to her master Jonathan take her from San Francisco to the rough rural byways of the Central Valley and posh enclaves of Europe, her story will sweep you into a world of secret, high-concept sensuality.
