The Bell in the Fog
by Lev AC Rosen
San Francisco, 1952. Detective Evander
“Andy” Mills has started a new life for himself

from the war arrives and the case takes him
back to the closeted world of the Navy, and
then out into the gay bars of the city.

Book Review:
Young Man from The Provinces
by Alan Helms
Young, intelligent, and handsome, Alan Helms
left a brutal midwestern childhood for New York
City in 1955. Denied a Rhodes scholarship
because of his sexual orientation, he soon
became an object of desire in a gay
underground scene frequented by, among
many others, Noel Coward, Leonard Bernstein,
and Marlene Dietrich. In this unusually vivid
and sensitive account, Helms describes the
business of being a sex object and its
psychological and physical toll.

Book Review:
Joshua Moehling’s debut is on solid ground in its writing and suspense. The opening gambit is simple – two teens go missing after breaking into someone’s house. ‘Propulsive’ and ‘atmospheric’ are two words that will alternate in your brain as you read this novel about a Deputy Sheriff, his secrets and the small town that holds even more secrets.
