He lost his friends, his family, his job, and his health, and can no longer find decent work. Our narrator isn’t Jonah Pastern, though, it’s ex-policeman Ben Spenser, who was left behind by his lover Jonah to face jail time and months of hard labor for “gross indecency.” Ben’s life was completely ruined after Jonah swept out of it one morning. And, as it turns out, Jonah wasn’t really a bad guy for what he did in the original trilogy. I’m not really a fan of “redeeming the bad guy” stories, but of course Charles pulls it off. I was surprised by this! The premise turned me off a little, which is why it took me so long to pick up.
