The Gold Diggers (Alyson Classics)

0/5 ( ratings)

GO WEST!

On the flight to the coast, Rita knows where she is going, but she doesn't know what she is getting into. Her old friend Peter is now a singularly successful interior designer and very much in love in his own way with Nick, who has his own ways with Sam, a "cowboy" with a mysterious and highly relevant past. They all come together in Crook House, a grand old mansion left over from the silent screen's most glorious days.

The mystery begins as some of Hollywood's darkest and most sensual secrets are discovered and played out by the trio and their friends. Illicit treasure lies in the great house. An hilarious murder occurs. Intrigue lurks in an abandoned mine shaft. A gay relationship literally explodes. Peter and Nick and Rita learn a great deal about digging for gold, 70's style.

Their adventures call up America's favorite fantasies of fortune, fame and living happily ever after.

PAUL MONETTE is best known as an important American poet, even though he is creating an extraordinary and engaging new world in fiction. His first novel, TAKING CARE OF MRS. CARROLL, was described by the Los Angeles Times as "a most entertaining performance," and by The Washington Post as "a moving celebration of gay love." His poetry collected in THE CARPENTER AT THE ASYLUM, earned him a grant from the Ingram-Merrill Foundation. A third novel will be announced soon.
