Thank you, Susan...Susan?

I had the pleasure of reading this novel shortly after it appeared in paperback. Little did I know it would be the last thing in print about Mr. Mineo for many years.It may have been the times--the early years of the chilling reports about a "gay plague"--but I remember think what a refreshing drink of water this book would be in the desert of information surrounding Sal's death. I will say up front that I did not get what I was hoping for. I believe I was hoping for a book which would give the low-down on Sal Mineo's life and death ala Jackie Suzanne. Instead, I was drawn into the story of a reporter and her unexpected love affair as a result of her assignment to write a small on-location piece concerning the famous actor's murder.I found myself wondering at times where the mystery which was unfolding around the principals would lead, and especially how it would illuminate the star's demise, but in the end the bittersweet tale left me strangely satisfied, but also angry and in tears--just as did the real-life event.I real life, the death of Sal Mineo seemed so pointless and shrouded. In her fiction, Ms. Bundy lifted the shroud and showed how without purpose it surely was. Still, I kept hoping Susan had another equally imaginative and moving story to tell. Still waiting, Susan...Susan?
