Mark McNease’s Fearsome Fiction Podcast 82: Night Flight to Murder Town – A Marshall James Thriller (Chapters 13 thru 15)

Welcome back to Fearsome Fiction, and to Night Flight to Murder Town: A Marshall James Thriller.

When we last left Marshall, he was stepping into a world he wasn’t sure he could step back out of. Now in New York City he’s about to find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Chapter Thirteen drops Marshall into Trent’s world with all its chrome and white leather and carefully curated secrets. The apartment on the Upper East Side tells you everything you need to know about how far Trent has come, and how far he’s willing to go to stay there.

Chapter Fourteen takes us downtown to the Village in all its complicated glory. The AIDS crisis hangs over everything like bad weather. The neighborhood is changing, the gays are moving north to Chelsea, and the yuppies are moving in behind them. Trent walks him through his little empire , a bar called Tipsy’s, a gym called Muscles, and the growing sense that whoever Trent is laundering money for is not someone you want to disappoint.

Chapter Fifteen brings us forward in time to Lambertville, New Jersey where Marshall and Boo arrive at Passion House Bed and Breakfast. A man named Kyle Callahan tends flowers on the porch. His handyman Justin helps. His husband Danny waits inside. It appears a new day may be at hand.
