The year is 1924. James Cardell has just left school and is preparing for Oxford. However, before the strict routine of university life begins, he is allowed to spend the summer holidays with his cousins in a tiny village in the Kent countryside. There he can pursue his frowned-upon love for painting, and begin to explore his secret obsession with the male physique. Through his cousin's guidance and the mysterious activities of the village lads, James comes to discover the pleasures of his forbidden impulses. There is one boy in particular whom he longs to possess - the beautiful, muscular Gabriel. Before long, they both find themselves entwined within a web of youthful folly and dark erotic initiation.

Idol, Two Books In One Edition STREET LIFE: Tired of life in the suburbs and raring for sexual adventure, Ben abandons his studies and comfortable home for the excitement of London. Forced to spend the night on the streets Ben is befriended by Lee, a homeless Scottish lad who offers him the comfort of his sleeping bag. But the excitement soon turns to something darker when the friends become involved in a web of prostitution and sexual conspiracies culminating in Ben's kidnapping. Lee takes it upon himself to unravel the mystery, going deep into the sleazy underworld of inner city street life to find the identity of the mysterious kidnapper.  HARD TIME: Three men are committed to the corrupt and cruel institution of Her Majesties Prison Cairncrow on the same day: Paul, an agressive, inner-city tough guy; John, an ex-vicar convicted of a sexual offence with a young man; and Simon, who is gentle, feminine and obviously gay. The prison is a sexual minefield run by sadistic officers and bullying hard cases, where the old-timers prey on the newcomers and the guards prey on everybody. This gritty prison story tells how the new inmates find a niche in a brutish environment, experiencing sex, redemption and love behind bars.
