Title: FreeForm Author: Jack Dickson Published by: Gay Men's Press, 1998 ISBN: 0-85449-257-7 [trade paperback, 240 pages]
A tough tale of crime, passion, and violent sex in the Glasgow underworld.Set in the twilight world of Glasgow's East End, FreeForm introduces a tough new gay cop, Detective-Sergeant Jas Anderson. A violent anti-hero, suspended from duty for assault when the story opens, Jas is the natural suspect when Leigh, his lover and partner in a heavy S/M relationship, is found brutally murdered. Himself on the run now, and struggling to clear his name, Jas uncovers Leigh's involvement in a blackmail ring, and even his lover's identity becomes confused.
Film-noir in inspiration, vividly characterized, and authentically exposing the raw nerves of Thatcherite Britain, FreeForm is set to appeal to a wide readership.
