The Black Country Gigolo — Ray Burston

Tom Simmons has everything: he is tall; he is charming; he is self-assured; and he is strikingly handsome â€" the kind of guy who will always command the attention of the opposite sex. Ben Hingley is none of these things. Gullible, obsessive, and emotionally illiterate, this unprepossessing little man seems destined to live out his days a despised and misunderstood loner. Yet these two contrasting characters do share something in common â€" the gathering indulgence of three very different women: a raffish, thrill-seeking author; a crestfallen politician; and a kindly churchgoer who bears the scars of a truly shocking crime. Three women who find themselves caught up in a bizarre love tangle â€" as well as an even deadlier tangle with a past that is catching up with each one of them.
