Shame by Raydon Pelham (Idol / Virgin Publishing)

A 1990s gay erotic thriller from Idol, Virgin Publishing's now-defunct homoerotic fiction imprint. Written by Raydon Pelham.

Martyn Townsend is on holiday in West Hollywood when he meets Scott and falls hard in one evening. The romance ends violently when Scott is shot dead in his arms. Determined to find out why, Martyn flies home to England to track down Peter, Scott's former partner, and is pulled into the club scene of London and Ibiza, full of casual sex and drugs, where the hunter quickly becomes the hunted.

Cover design by Slatter-Anderson, cover photography by Colin Clarke. Adult fiction, originally retailed at £6.99.

The Idol imprint is highly collectable. The full catalogue has been out of print for years and copies in any condition are increasingly hard to source. A solid addition to a vintage gay paperback collection.
