Come Clean

by John F. Parker, Kevin J. Porter (Narrator)

A murder, unlike no other, has been committed by a serial killer who believes Hannibal Lecter would envy his techniques. In tracking down the killer, Kevin Porter takes his readers on a breathless trail in and around Hollywood North (Vancouver, Canada), including the set locations of The X-Files. Because of its style, Come Clean allows readers to be a jump ahead of Porter, thus being privy to his foibles and flaws of character. As the unrelenting tension builds, Porter shares intimacies about his ten-year inter-generational relationship with a young gay man, Brent Barnes. Poignant, but often hilarious, these "personal" insights are a welcome relief from the heart-thumping suspense that builds right up to the final moments of Come Clean.
