The Truth of Yesterday
We are all liars, because
The truth of yesterday becomes a lie tomorrow,
Whereas letters are fixed,
And we live by the letter of truth.
The love I feel for my friend, this year,
Is different from the love I felt last year.
If it were not so, it would be a lie.
Yet we reiterate love! love! love!
As if it were a coin with a fixed value
Instead of a flower that dies, and opens a different bud.
~DH Lawrence~
“We like to think of life as a story -- complete with a nice, neat beginning, middle, and end. Real life is seldom that orderly. We often forget just how powerful the past can be. After all, it's over and done with, so how can it affect the present? The truth is, while it may be over, it is seldom done, especially in matters not properly dealt with. It has a way of twisting our perception, our feelings, and even our reality. Things we thought long behind us can suddenly be very much before us.”
Killian is thrilled when his first real case takes him on a surveillance trip to Washington D.C. -- and with his boyfriend Micah, no less! When Micah takes him out to celebrate the successful resolution of his case, Micah's past comes back to haunt them in a big way. Killian is stunned when he learns the truth, and even more shocked to hear about the murder of Micah's former lover, Paul. The truth threatens to tear them apart, but at the same time, Killian is drawn to find Paul's killer.
Meanwhile, his old friend Judy has asked him to investigate her own son, whose behavior has changed radically in the last few months. She is worried that he may be involved in something dangerous...and she has no idea how right she is.
Entering into the perilous and often grim world of male escorts, Killian discovers that things are seldom what they seem and everyone has a past.
