The Devil Inside, The Suspense Thriller

By Randy Boyd

PERFECT CATCH OR PURE EVIL?

That's what Kordell Christie, a respected gay businessman, must figure out about the new man in his life - a childhood friend who reappears out of the blue.

On the surface, Mario Cervantes seems like his old self. But his memory is a little hazy, his behavior increasingly strange, and his dark secrets linked to a bizarre and twisted world.

Is Mario a dream lover or a date from hell?

Kordell has seventy-two hours to figure it out.

A gripping blend of suspense, mystery, psychological thrills, and speculative fiction, The Devil Inside explores trust, identity, sexuality, and the devastating consequences of secrets buried too deep.

Very Entertaining

i found this book to be very entertaining. it was kind of like gay sci-fi. i went on to read more of randy boyd's books and am now a fan. i hope he writes more soon.

May disturb some readers

A well-developed, involved mystery-suspense novel, with some sci-fi overtones, featuring fleshed-out, racially diverse, realistic characters most gay, lesbian or bisexual readers will be able to identify with. But if you prefer a healthy dose of PC with your reading, better pass on this one.The novel does not hesitate to point out, even in the first chapter, some basic problems facing gay male society, including those pushed on us by others as well as those for which we can only blame ourselves. But it "goes where no gay novel has gone before", by (cleverly, in stages) blurring the line between homosexuality and pedophilia, a distincting that gay activists have spent considerable efforts in reinforcing. The fact that the accusation of gay-men-as-child-mollestors comes from misguided right-wing forces can easily be dismissed, but even the gay characters have occasional lapses of faith in the distinction. All in all, a disturbing but absolutely riviting novel, which I recommend to those who can read it with an open mind.
