Nominated for a 34th annual Lambda Literary Award • A scintillating thriller with an emotional
punch: The tension builds to unbearably claustrophobic levels. To say more would rob readers of
the 'no he didn’t' suspense that makes Bath Haus an unexpectedly twisted heart-pounding
cat-versus-mouse thriller (Los Angeles Times).Oliver Park a recovering addict from Indiana
finally has everything he ever wanted: sobriety and a loving wealthy partner in Nathan a
prominent DC trauma surgeon. Despite their difference in age and disparate backgrounds they've
made a perfect life together. With everything to lose Oliver shouldn't be visiting Haus a gay
bathhouse. But through the entrance he goes and it's a line crossed. Inside he follows a man
into a private room and it's the final line. Whatever happens next Nathan can never know. But
then everything goes wrong terribly wrong and Oliver barely escapes with his life.He races
home in full-blown terror as the hand-shaped bruise grows dark on his neck. The truth will
destroy Nathan and everything they have together so Oliver does the thing he used to do so
well: he lies.What follows is a classic runaway-train narrative full of the exquisite
escalations edge-of-your-seat thrills and oh-my-god twists. P. J. Vernon's Bath Haus is
perfect for readers curious for their next must-read novel.
