Adrenaline — James Robert Baker

It begins as a routine trick: two guys on a beach after midnight. Instant attraction, chemical overload, but in the heat of the moment they are interrupted. Brutalized by police, they fight back, a cop dies, and Nick and Jeff are on the run through Los Angeles at its worst. James Robert Baker's cult first novel-originally published under the name James Dillinger-is at once an anarchist's howl of rage at oppression and the soulless culture of Hollywood, and it is a noir thriller peppered with hilarious vignettes and ironic insight.

James Robert Baker is the author of four other novels: Tim & Pete, Boy Wonder, Fuel Injected Dreams, and Right Wing (published on the Internet). His sixth novel, Testosterone, will be published by Alyson in October 2000. On November 5, 1997, he committed suicide.
