Crypt City

by William Kowalski

The year is 1970. When U.S. Army Capt. Howard Starling is caught in the arms of another man, his commanding officer, Lt.-Col. Christopher Huygens, he's dismissed from the service in disgrace. With a background in intelligence, he tries in desperation to make a living as a private eye. His first client, Lorna Sutter, is a wealthy woman who wants to find a young girl with whom she grew up in an orphanage. As Howard investigates, not only does he discover that the orphanage was the epicenter of a series of horrific crimes, but his past as a Cold War intelligence officer is about to catch up to him in the form of a Soviet agent whom he had helped turn, and who has once again changed employers--this time, to a shadowy organization with a strange connection to his vanished lover. Nothing is as it seems, and the past is never dead, in this titillating thriller from best-selling novelist William Kowalski.

3,5 stars.
This is not a romance novel. Just about a character who happens to be gay although that is major part of the plot.
I quite liked the story although the setting is a bit alien to me. I was born in the seventies and by the time I was fully aware there were "bad" people in the East, the wall was falling.
The story had an old fashioned spy novel feeling about it. I did not see the end coming!

I am quickly becoming a huge fan of William Kowalski. I thought it was an intriguing read and his prose was beautifully mastered. I would highly recommend anyone giving this book a read.
Well Done Mr. Kowalski
