They're certainly getting better, and considering the high standard and huge popularity of his first, that's no mean feat. This isn't just a great piece of gay fiction. It's a great book, period." - Paul Burston, author of The Gay Divorcee"Sleight of Hand is novelist Nick Alexander's latest volume following the life of the now beloved character Mark.
