Tristan is not happy that “Officer Helmet” is lingering in the café, and he’s even less happy with the text commentary the good cop offers on the men who do attempt to pick Tristan up. He gathers up a bunch of gay literature and plants himself in the café of a Borders Books (back when they existed!! *sigh*) in plain view of the customers, one of whom happens to be off-duty Officer Michael Truax, the very same cop who ticketed Tristan years ago for skateboarding without a helmet. So, Tristan’s out to trap a guy, and find out for sure. He doesn’t seem to get that turned on with girls, and he’s had lots of gay fantasies. He’s been sexually active with girls for several years, but he’s thinking that he is, perhaps, gay. Tristan is a 19-year-old, sexually-confused college student. As I didn’t read the original, I can’t comment on the extent of revision or editing, but I will tell you that the book in current form is spectacular. I’ve read a few ZA Maxfield books in the past, and have enjoyed them, so the re-release of Crossing Borders piqued my interest. These two suspicious men must develop trust and respect for one another to solve the case and, on the way, maybe fall in love.When I found this book on Joyfully Jay’s Favorite Coming Out Stories list, I jumped at the chance to review this for the Reading Challenge. The irony of having to babysit Kevin Quinn is not lost on him. Everything he aspires to is a direct result of that tragedy, even the acquisition of his detective shield. He's still numb from the disappearance of his first love, a boy who went missing 10 years earlier. Connor Dougal has every reason to believe all psychics are fakes and charlatans.

Yet, when teenage boys start going missing from the beach cities of Southern California, Kevin gets on a plane. His attempts to use his talents to help the police have been met with limited success. Įver since the accident that cost him his job on the Seattle police force, Kevin Quinn has been living with psychic abilities he refers to as the 'gift that keeps on taking'.
