The Gaslight Mysteries #6
Into a Crack
For PIs Michael McCree and Simon Hart, life has become…if not humdrum, then unusually calm. Routine cases, daily training with their band of back-street urchins, the incessant games of sex and innuendo—all of it takes on a keener edge when they learn that an arch enemy has somehow slipped through a crack in Ireland’s notorious Old Chokey Prison.
Instead of quietly leaving the country, their implacable opponent is out for blood…namely, the blood of two sleuths named Michael and Simon.
The enemy is desperate, and greedy too. Some of the the ones fighting alongside the PIs are excellent, some are rather good, and a few are outright dishonest.
Nothing stirs their imagination and, um, base instincts like raw danger. Both men find themselves sliding into more than one crack in the Roaring Twenties city of Dun Linden as they alternately evade and pursue, duck and dodge, parry and thrust—starting in the bedroom of their own Victorian flat.

Oh My Goodness, Please Don't Leave Us
This is a startlingly paced, beautifully written crime and love story closing out Ms. O'Quinn's brilliant Gaslight Mysteries. This features PI's Michael McCree and Simon Hart, two completely different people who cannot get enough of each other--until one or the other screws up.
Then they usually are targeted to be screwed to the wall by criminals lurking in waiting and would-be associates betraying their loyalties.
Michael and Simon are two of the most extraordinary characters you will ever meet, and their deep confidence in themselves, if not in their bond, has made this one of the great period M/M romances of the past five years.
If you haven't read this series, you are cheating yourself out of a rollicking ride and riveting romance. Get it now.
