From the book flap:
Bill Downing is a homosexual; his world is strange to most of us. He would not change it if he could ... he simply seeks to find the one thing his world cannot guarantee: contentment. Eventually, the quest leads him to Death Row. But this does not surprise him . . . much. Perhaps he has always known he would end up that way. . . . Hard-hitting, often shocking, this novel of the homosexual and his world-within- a-world pulls no punches. It recreates the whole degrading pattern: the disgrace, the blackmail, the violence at the hands of law-enforcement officers ... the entire sorry train of events that dog the heels of those who deviate from the sexual norm. in these pages you will see Bill as part of a Queer Triangle. You will learn that he was once married, fathered two children, returned to his former ways . . . and was divorced; that he served in the Armed Forces . . . and was discharged.
His ex-wife is murdered, and Bill finds himself under the lights in the back room at police headquarters. Cleared, he finds the one man for whom he has been seeking ... or so he thinks, at the time. . . Again, murder. Bill is acquitted, and once more goes free. But how long will his luck hold out. The author draws his climax with a relentless pen, sharply sketching in the outlines of the maze in which Bill has become enmeshed. Tautly, matter-of-factly, almost casually. Queer Triangle sheds dramatic light on that baffling human being-the male homosexual.
