Boy Meets Body — Josh Lanyon

Four of Josh Lanyon's most popular crime novellas collected for the first time in print. Lovers and Other Strangers â€" Recovering from a near-fatal accident, artist Finn Barret returns to Seal Island in Maine to rest and recuperate. But Seal Island is haunted with memories: some sweet, some sad. Three years ago Finn found his lover in the arms of Fitch, Finn's twin brother. Since that day, Finn has seen neither Conlan nor Fitch. In fact, no one has seen Fitch. Did Fitch run away as everyone believes? Or did he meet a more sinister fate? To put the past to rest -- and see if there's any chance of a future with Con -- Finn must discover the truth. But the deeper he digs, the more reason he has to fear Con is the only one who knows what truly happened to Fitch… Ghost of a Chance â€" Over a century ago, Illusionist David Berkeley committed suicide in his mansion by the sea, thus dooming his restless spirit to wander forever. Or so the local legend goes… Professor Rhys Davies, a part-time parapsychologist, is writing a book on California hauntings, and he believes the crumbling ruins of Berkeley House will make a terrific chapter -- if he can gain access to the house and grounds. The only obstacle is brooding cop and self-appointed caretaker, Sam Devlin. As obstacles go, Devlin is a big one. A Vintage Affair â€" Somewhere in the cobwebbed cellar of the decrepit antebellum mansion known as Ballineen are the legendary Lee bottles -- and Austin Gillespie is there to find them. What he discovers is the dashing and disturbing Jeff Brady. Blood Red Butterfly â€" Despite falling in love with aloof manga artist Kai Tashiro, Homicide Detective Ryo Miller is determined to break the alibi Kai is supplying his murderous boyfriend -- even if it means breaking Kai with it.
