Summary
"Thirty-year-old Kent McKutcheon has come to Atlanta with little ambition beyond an earnest desire to grow up and prove himself a good person. But after a year of contentment with his Mennonite wife, Maggie - a defense attorney with a passion for social justice - Kent cannot quiet his longing for Paul, the lover who abandoned him three years earlier. When an accidental meeting revives their affair, the infatuation they have kept private soon threatens to destroy the public persona each man has created." "Paul - a talented acting student - is unhappily bound to an older, ailing college professor and is growing weary of the excesses of gay nightlife. A former wild child, he now craves the sense of family and stability that Kent and Maggie appear to share. Frustrated with Kent's guilt-ridden angst and eager to find the love and comfort that seem otherwise unavailable in his world, Paul draws closer to Kent's marriage, ultimately developing a fixation on Maggie." "In a single night that slips out of control, a volatile mix of emotions leads to murder, and all three characters are suddenly more involved with each other's lives than they ever could have imagined."--BOOK JACKET.
