False Confessions: A Doug Orlando Mystery

The bestselling crime novels of New York life in the early nineties are back.

Gruff, weary, gay Brooklyn Homicide cop Doug Orlando is facing his most terrifying case: a serial killer who leaves his victims naked but for dozens of long, murderous needles.

The victims were last seen at No Exit, a gay club catering to the piercing and tattooing scene. When a priest rumored to have heard the killer's confession and refused to reveal his identity is found bludgeoned before his altar, war ignites between the city's gay community and the power elite of the Church.

Orlando's search leads him through the underside of modern, urban Catholicism to New York's S&M playgrounds, and to a tattoo parlor that leaves its own unique mark on its patrons.

But can he solve the case before the city burns?
