Book Description

October 1, 2008
The Flying Scotsman, one of the world’s legendary train journeys, has many attractions for Edward “Mitch” Mitchell, from the obliging porter to the mean guard to a troop of rough-and-ready soldiers in easily lifted kilts in the third-class carriage. But Mitch may not have time for them all before they arrive in London. When the train gets stuck in a tunnel, a dead body is found in the first-class toilet! Ever-ready Mitch decides to intervene and solve the crime. With his new Belgian sidekick Benoit, he pursues the killer through a crazy kaleidoscope of movie stars, drug dealers, royal scandals, and queens of every description. Can he finger the villain before the villain fingers him? What is the connection between Buckingham Palace and a bunch of backstreet pornographers? And what is the mystery of the secret tunnel? Mitch intends to go all the way to figure it all out.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A wickedly brisk blend of sexual romps and intricate sleuthing. Cliche-free erotica is a treasure: an intelligent mystery is a pleasure. Finding both between the covers of the same book is elegantly orgasmic." -- Richard Labonte, Q Syndicate

"James Lear's novels have dominated gay erotic fictions charts since publication. Just a few pages in, the secret of Lear's success becomes blindingly apparent...But it's not just the sex that keeps you reading. Lear's prose is vibrant and colorful...This isn't porn accompanied by a wah-wah guitar, this is porn to the strains of Beethoven's Ode To Joy, each vividly realised ejaculation accompanied by a fanfare and the crashing of symbols."**** -- Time Out London

4.0 out of 5 stars The Secret Tunnel, November 8, 2009
This review is from: The Secret Tunnel (Paperback)
You can't help but feel that Agatha Christie would love to be seated next to James Lear on a long train trip, through scenic mountains and dark tunnels, with hours to observe and gossip and draw conclusions together. As a huge Agatha Christie fan, I loved how James tips his hat to Christie's MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, before jamming it full of horny men, bawdy sex and a devil may care attitude--and with a mystery thrown in to boot! James writes so swiftly, so wittily, I can't help but grin with pleasure!

This, like all of Lear's books I've read, is a fun, entertaining read. Easy to read in a day or two. Just sheer enjoyment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue, Mystery, and Double Entendre, September 9, 2009
By 
Jon Montz Graham (San Jose, Costa Rica) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Secret Tunnel (Paperback)
Trains, mystery, romance. Of course the crazy title about the secret tunnel turns out to be...well it's more than a manly passage. I guess there was a sale on summer type reading and I bought and read three like so much buttered popcorn. Fun stuff, though
