Light Before Day

Adam Murphy dreams of real investigative reporting, but his job is producing blurbs about briefs and six-packs for a gay lifestyle magazine. A struggling young adult film performer hands him a lead: a marine who recently died had quietly visited a notorious pimp who procured boys. Adam sets out to expose the story, and the moment he does, someone makes it clear he is in danger.

He soon finds himself tangled in a web of wealthy older men who prey on runaways, glittering Hollywood parties with powerful guests, and three attractive young men who have disappeared. Searching the darker corners of Los Angeles, Adam must also find his former lover, Corey, who may be hiding dangerous secrets of his own.
