This novel is set in 1970s New York’s gay community, about an undercover policeman looking for a serial killer of homosexual men, who come across the killer while “cruising” for sex. Each chapter follows the thoughts, perspectives and experiences of the three main characters: the killer, the undercover policeman, and the police captain who assigns the case. The book was adapted to a film of the same name in 1980, in which “substantial” changes were made.

Minor foxing to top edge. Spine tail lightly pushed. Clipped jacket has some foxing and small chips to corners. Very Good Condition.
