Sleepyhead - Paperback

In the dark, hedonistic playgrounds of West Hollywood, a damaged young man must play a lethal game of deception with a ritualistic serial killer who is turning his apartment building into a private slaughterhouse.

Welcome to West Hollywood: where the bodies are exquisite, the sex is transactional, and the next hookup just might carve you open.

Twenty-three-year-old Ty Yung survives on the margins of L.A.'s gay scene, hiding behind a wall of detached cynicism to keep his childhood demons at bay. But the neon-soaked sanctuary of WeHo turns into a claustrophobic nightmare when a brutal phantom dubbed the "Hollywood Slasher" begins hunting gay men of color, ripping them to shreds and leaving them in the city's alleyways.

When a horrific murder strikes inches from his own doorstep, Ty is suddenly trapped in a lethal crossfire of obsession, unable to trust the shifting alliances of the men entering his bed and his home.

Then the messages arrive. This predator knows Ty's most intimate secrets and the exact depth of his fear. As the body count rises and the sanctuary of his home is violated, Ty is forced to drop his mask of detachment and embrace a primal instinct for survival. He must outmaneuver a monster who seems to know his every move before he becomes the next piece of the city's grim history.
