Twice - Paperback

by Romeo Preminger (Author)

A dark gay/mm romantic thriller, set in the late 1970s, with shades of The Postman Always Rings Twice.

After a beef with the mob, Sal Minovich has to get out of New York City pronto. He gets as far as Beacon, New York, otherwise known as Nowheresville, and talks his way into a situation working as a handyman at a fading motor lodge. It's not a bad place to hide out for a while and sock away some cash until he figures out his next step.

Then Sal meets the young manager, Will, and things get a whole lot more interesting. Pushed out by his homophobic father, Will hooked up with a small-time real estate investor, and now, six years later, he's trapped in an unhappy relationship that might also be abusive. Sal thinks he and Will should run away together and leave their pasts behind. But Will won't leave without a payout for all the time he's put in. Do they have to get Will's old man out of the way to have their happily-ever-after?
