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.

It re-imagines the boundaries of gay fiction and inspires us to re-evaluate our lives. A subtle, deeply moving examination of the ways we can re-imagine our lives." - Alex Hopkins, Out There magazine
