Panthers In The Skins Of Men by Charles Nelson

The story of a gay Vietnam vet in the late 1960's. The man in question has a penchant for straight men whom he seduces or takes advantage of in various different ways. Along the way, near the start of the book, he is picked up by an Italian State Trooper. The two begin an affair that last the length of the book with the two delving deeper and deeper into their darker sexual sides. They coerce FBI agents and numerous service men into sexual acts. Is written in a chapter type setting with each show more month being a chapter for the year 1968. Reads very much like erotica but with a strong story line throughout. show less
