CHICKENHAWK

by Arnold Wolf

Theodore “Paki” Pakidorapopulos is a happily married man with a secret…he enjoys having sex with young men and boys. He likes his double life, does not consider himself gay, and ridicules gay causes in his popular conservative magazine column. When he gets sick, however, everything changes. He believes he’s infected with the AIDS virus, and his comfortable world comes apart as his illness, anger, and growing madness start to affect his work and family. He takes revenge on those he blames for making him sick by killing the young male prostitutes he solicits. Two cops from Manhattan North Homicide, Eddie Ramos and Tommy Cucitti, try to track him down, but how do you catch someone who’s managed to successfully keep his double life a secret for so long? Nothing comes easy in this case as the body count grows and the cops’ jobs, reputations and lives are on the line.

I really enjoyed this book. Not my usual type of book to read but it was very suspenseful and kept me reading to the end
