The Lure

In 1979, Felice Picano rocketed to fame with the publication of this shocking, controversial thriller. Riveting and candid in its depiction of the gay sexual subcutlure of the era, 'The Lure' thrusts young widower Noel Hathaway into a dark universe of physical and psychological violence; an unwilling lure used by the police to unmask an elusive killer. 'Explosive... Picano plays out the novel's secrets brilliantly, one deliberate card at a time... Picano is one hell of a writer' - Stephen King 'One of the best books of any kind' - The Advocate
