Unsure if his infatuation is returned, Tommy distracts himself with the attention of a local bully, who hustles older men at night besides a decrepit zoo in Boise's park. Tommy soon finds himself in the midst of a scandal that threatens to ignite the entire town...and his life will never be the same.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>And here it is: "Fast-paced, sexy, and intriguing. Casey Charles ushers us to front row seats for his startling, gossipy imagining of the Boise homosexuality scandal of 1955. How do these things happen? Find out from some characters who would know." - David Pratt, Lambda Literary Award-Winning author of <em>Bob the Book</em></p><p>"<em>The Monkey Cages</em> is a coat of many colors, part coming of age story, part romance, part courtroom drama, with all of them adding up to be a sexy, searing consideration of just what it takes to live life with candor and pride. And not since The Front Runner has there been such a coach." - Vinton Rafe McCabe, author of <em>Death in Venice, California</em></p><br>
