Über diesen Titel

Set in atmospheric 1950s San Francisco, Rough Pages asks who is allowed to tell their own stories, and how far would you go to seek out the truth.

Private Detective Evander “Andy” Mills has been drawn back to the Lavender House estate for a missing person case. Pat, the family butler, has been volunteering for a book service, one that specializes in mailing queer books to a carefully guarded list of subscribers. With bookseller Howard Salzberger gone suspiciously missing along with his address book, everyone on that list, including some of Andy's closest friends, is now in danger.

A search of Howard’s bookstore reveals that someone wanted to stop him and his co-owner, Dorothea Lamb, from sending out their next book. The evidence points not just to the Feds, but to the Mafia, who would be happy to use the subscriber list for blackmail.

Andy has to maneuver through both the government and the criminal world, all while dealing with a nosy reporter who remembers him from his days as a police detective and wants to know why he’s no longer a cop. With his own secrets closing in on him, can Andy find the list before all the lives on it are at risk?

Kritikerstimmen

"Immersive ...Rosen buttresses his solid suspense plot with a rendering of midcentury San Francisco that feels realistic in its depiction of the dangers facing the city’s gay residents but refreshingly optimistic about their ability to lead fulfilled lives." –Publishers Weekly

Praise for the Evander Mills series:


"Gripping...Rosen’s candid portrayal of the casual cruelties perpetrated on queer people in the 1950s provides a novel and edifying foundation for a traditional mystery. Readers will be ready for the next Mills adventure as soon as this one ends" –Publishers Weekly, on The Bell in the Fog

"The result is an atmospheric historical novel as well as a gritty noir mystery that will thrill both readers who already love Andy Mills and those meeting him for the first time." –BookPage, starred review, on The Bell in the Fog

"Rosen’s deftly clued, noir-tinged plot successfully walks the line between hope and heartbreak, all while thoughtfully exploring the role of family in our lives. This fresh take on the classic private investigator begs to be brought to the big screen." –Library Journal, starred review, on Lavender House

"Rosen’s smart, bittersweet tale plays with the oldest truth of all: the price we pay for our identity in America." –Walter Mosley, on Lavender House

"Lavender House is a fabulous, genre-bending mystery-noir, told with wit, panache and style. Lev Rosen is one of a kind and just gets better and better—his eye for characters is both acerbic and compassionate, and his story-telling is top notch." –Dan Chaon, New York Times bestselling author of Sleepwalk, on Lavender House

I am not gonna lie - I like the first 2 entries of the series! A lot! But this one really got under my skin. I recognized my 15 year old self - prowling the public library - and finding "Giovanni's Room" and "The city and the pillar" and finding my kind of people - my kind of desire! And how it changed me - knowing that I am not alone. And finding a vocabulary for myself that was not a curse or a swear-word. Books are dangerous to a status-quo - but they can offer healing and insight too. This is what this book reminded me off - it really hit home. The crime story itself was solid, the historical setting flawless yet recognizable, the voice acting the best yet - especially with the female voices. It´s not sizzling action, it´s not steamy erotica - but it a good queer crime story in the tradition of Hammett, or Himes or Goodis. And yes - I hope a streaming service picks it up too :-)

A cime story about books - and why we so need them
