On a cold night in 1980, a young gay man is murdered in the old Beekman Place Hotel in Peoria, Illinois. The crime is brutal and sexual, and the killer left behind two clues that seem to have traveled through time: Coca Cola from 1902 made with cocaine instead of caffeine - and Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Clove Cigarettes, a brand defunct since 1898. With no witness to the crime and no match to fingerprints, the murder remains unsolved. Twenty-seven years later, Frankie Downs a writer for OldPlaces Magazine travels from Chicago to Peoria to research Beekman Places nefarious past. That evening, Downs hits it off with a young gay tenant and a consensual S&M encounter ensues. When Frankie leaves for Chicago in the wee hours, the boy is still alive. But the following morning, the young man is found dead, in the same style, at the same hotel, and with the same clues as 27 years before. Unfortunately for Downs, in addition to being a suspect today, his fingerprints also match the 1980 crimebut he is not the killer. Detective Kellie Hogan knows that Beekman Place hides a dangerous secret. The hotel is the key to a growing series of murders within the gay leather community, and her investigation reveals an ominous connection thats driving the actions of everyone around her. But something is very wrong. Kellie realizes that in order to stop the present day killer, she must journey deep into the hotels sordid past to reveal a secret thats been hidden in plain sight from the moment Frankie Downs began to write his story. And it all revolves around the search for a single missing man...

The Saturday Night Everlasting

By: David Alan Dedin

Thirty years ago, Alan, Patrick, and Guinevere-"the Trio"-became the best of friends while stealing from Checker's Casual Cafe, the busiest restaurant in town. But the trio didn't just take money-what happened in '91 was no less than diabolical. Cicadas attacked customers, out-of-hand pranks collapsed the kitchen ceiling, and the Phantom of the Restaurant brought havoc to the dining room-all against a background of blaring eighties music. Sharon Donovan, the restaurant's general manager, was literally ready to kill someone when police were finally called. Fifteen years later, Guinevere is mortally wounded in a horrific car accident. As Alan and Patrick rush to her side, her deathbed confession is chilling: "The worst thing about my depression is that it has a sense of humor." In her dying breath, Gwen asks Alan to take care of Stephanie, her teenage daughter-"As you once took care of me, when we all worked together at Checker's." And as Steph brings back memories of the best time in his life, Alan makes a very bad decision... But karma is a bitch, and Patrick's arrest on returning to his Nevada home makes national news. His frantic cry for help sends Alan and Stephanie on a cross-country trip-where evidence reveals a disturbing connection between the Trio that began years before Checker's. It's eerie how current events mirror those from decades ago, and past-and-present stories play out side by side. Without Alan's help, Patrick will go to prison...but as Sharon Donovan learned the hard way, it's often those you trust the most who blindside you with their behaviors... No matter how far you run, the past will always catch up with you. And once it does, it will serve a dish best cold.
