    About this ebook

    San Francisco 1976: Harvey Milk leaves his friend Israel Wren to look after his apartment. On his first night Israel is dismayed to discover a movie star in the lounge room nervously smoking cigarettes. The celebrity has just escaped the clutches of a serial killer. 'The Doodler' haunts gay bars and sketches his victims before seducing and then knifing them. He has already killed fourteen gay men this way. The police don't seem too interested in protecting the gay community, so Israel takes on the task of tracking down the killer who sketches his victims before he kills them.

    Author

    G.P. Field

    G.P. Field owned and ran a bookstore for many years. After selling his store, he took a part time job as a lifeguard, started writing, and went back to university to become a high school teacher. One night G.P. woke up with a person in his head. Despite many attempts to exorcise this fabrication, Israel Wren has refused to budge. Indeed, the person of Israel Wren has grown to become a very real part of G.P.'s life and inhabits his books and stories with a remorseless persistence. G.P. lives on the rugged coastline of regional Australia with his wife and daughter. He loves blue skies, vast saltwater vistas and grassland to the horizon. When he has a quiet moment, he likes to sit in the sun and dream up stories.
