Can a relationship based on incredibly passionate and raw sexual fulfillment disguise itself as true love? Or is true love just a name given to sexual fulfillment? 
Such was the question faced by Tom Clifden, a clever street hustler who found himself sexually glued to Hank Carter, a struggling would-be actor in New York City. Their physical and sexual appetites for each other knew no boundaries. Night after night they revelled in passionate and uninhibited sexual episodes. 
But the question comes up much later. Tom is 53 years old and (without Hank) has used his good looks and street smarts to good advantage. He owns a string of bars across the country and is comfortably settled in Key West. 
His quietude ends abruptly when a letter arrives from Eunice, a woman who 25 years earlier was Hank's first love-and the woman whom Hank had abandoned for Tom's unbelievable sexual powers and pleasures. 
"Hank is dead." The letter was short and to the point. More letters follow and more are exchanged. The correspondence evolves into a steamy, explicit tale about Hank's true character and identity-a Hank that for so many long years Tom had not even known. 
This is the story of two handsome young men who try to build a relationship during the sexually explosive and carefree years of the late 60s. The tale of their love unfolds, revealing the challenges of the ever-growing temptations of INFIDELITY.

William Rooney is a highly successful veteran of 35 years' in the Clandestine Service and was directly involved in a number of effective and dangerous operations. He has lived in foreign countries for a number of years in his exciting and distinguished CIA career.  His first novel, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, is a cautionary tale all should heed. The elements in this captivating love story quickly unfold into an urgent need to stop a sophisticated, potentially nation-shattering terrorist plot.  Rooney believes strongly that CIA operations are one of the first lines of defense in the everyday struggle to protect this country. He feels the Clandestine Service needs to meet the highest standards of professionalism, and also needs to be covert. He does not pull punches when discussing what is happening to the CIA, and how it is a political football in the nation's capital.   Acknowledging some of this is a self-inflicted wound caused by various retired officers who in public forums and daily news talk shows, opine on world political issues Rooney is also frustrated by the continuing leaks of sensitive information about operations from 'anonymous sources' or from unnamed retired Agency Officers.   Recent examples make the point clearly and include the news stories of the Safe House near Osama Bin Laden's hideout, that there was a stealth drone overhead monitoring activity at the target location and the announcement in newspapers, CIA operatives had deployed into Libya the previous day.   Agency Operations Officers face great difficulties in mounting successful operations, and such public transparency does not make their jobs easier. Too often, politicians, newsmen, and Government turf war barons in Washington play "pin the tail on the donkey" and "gotcha" when dealing with the Clandestine Service in the hardball game of politics.   While this book is fiction, and a fun novel to read, Rooney touches on a number of issues that need to be discussed and also offers interesting insights all should give thought to.
