Nick Nowak has come a long way. I didn’t like him for quite a while, although I guess I felt for him right from the start. Nick, you see, is only six years older than I am. In our generation, however, those six years make a big difference. Nick and I came from (and came out in) very different places. From the very start of Marshall Thornton’s landmark series about a gay ex-cop in Chicago in the 1980s, the reader has been challenged to accept Nick Nowak as he is. Sometimes, it wasn’t easy. With each book, though, Thornton has moved Nick along – moved him forward; and he’s moved his readers right along with him.This is, in retrospect, one of the lowest-key mysteries Nick has had to deal with. There is a possible murder, possibly witnessed by a manic-depressive woman (we say bipolar now, but this was 1985). In spite of its nebulousness, this mystery is ultimately pretty riveting, and finally more shocking than one expects.But the point is that the mysterious maybe-murder is not really the main course. It is the central plot arc, but it is simply the stem from which all the interlaced tendrils of Nick’s daily life grow. Nick’s relationship with Joseph continues to change. Terry Winkler, the sexually abused gay teenager, is still living with Nick’s late lover’s mother, who is still dying of ovarian cancer. Nick’s longtime friend and onetime lover Ross is still living – which is to say dying slowly - in the tiny high-rise apartment on Lakeshore Drive that Nick shares with Joseph. AIDS is there, named but still untreatable in the face of President Reagan’s stonewalling (ironic term) research funding for the “gay plague.” Nick isn’t even supposed to be working, as his recovery from a gunshot wound has taken longer and hurt more than either he or Joseph anticipated. So, if the central murder story isn’t such a big deal, everything else along with it adds up to a complicated life through which Nick must make his way.The Nick Nowak we met in the first Boystown story couldn’t have coped. The Nick we know now maneuvers the rocky shoals of his life with remarkable gentleness and wisdom, in spite of the pain – physical and emotional – that he feels nearly all the time. This is not the Nick we knew back when.I love Nick now. He’s a rock, although he doesn’t quite realize it.Wry humor fills the book, provoking a smile or a chuckle at some particularly dry throwaway line. If not actually funny, the craziness of Nick’s world provokes eye-rolls and snickers of disbelief. For all the troubles, it’s not deadly serious. Nick is afraid, and Nick is angry. But he is not oblivious to irony. There is one moment that finds Nick reading “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues” in the laundry room of his apartment building. The thought is hilarious. Younger readers won’t get it, perhaps, but it just struck me as wonderfully absurd, embodying the contradictions and changes that fill his life.Near the end of the book Nick thinks about a performer he saw on the Ed Sullivan Show on TV as a kid: an act where a man keeps a bunch of dinner plates spinning atop tall bamboo poles. Nick thinks that his life is like that – “exhilarating because they kept spinning; terrifying because they might fall.” I saw that same Ed Sullivan Show as a child, and I have image in my own head all the time as I contemplate my own life in the twenty-first century.I want Nick to be happy; but I don’t know where Marshall Thornton will take him next. I know there will be tears. I just hope all the plates don’t fall.

The mystery in this book is light. Nick isn't in physical danger and he's stuck exploring his feelings as much as Nick can. He's no longer the loner we met at the beginning of book 1. He's developed a family and a circle of friends.What struck me most about this book is the realization of how many people Nick is taking care of. Mrs. Harker, Ross and Terry. to balance that out, Joseph takes care of him, even more than usual because of Nick's shoulder. The relationships are more complex this time around. Ross helps Nick with the ongoing investigation into the woman who shot Nick and the DeCarlo case. Joseph urges him to let Terry make his own mistakes. Mrs. Harker sounds gruff but starts accepting help and opens up a bit.Nick is not supposed to work while he is recovering from being shot in the last book. As a favor to his building manager, he takes on the case of the woman's sister. The sister is mentally ill and claims to have witnessed a murder, which may or may not be a delusion. Again, Nick slips into his caretaker mode,The book is well-written, as are all the Boystown books. I enjoyed it quite a lot.

A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Review (A MelanieM Review)Rating: 5 stars out of 5It’s February 1985. Nick struggles to recover from a gunshot wound, while taking on the case of a woman with a mental illness, who may or may not have witnessed a murder. As he attempts to determine exactly what the woman saw and how much danger she may be in, he juggles the approaching DeCarlo trial, an ill Mrs. Harker, and the sexually precocious Terry. Valentine’s Day with boyfriend Joseph produces some big changes in their relationship.Life is evolving, but there’s no guarantee it’s for the better.I find it interesting how Marshall Thornton has written each book as almost as a mirror held up against the life (both inner reflections and daily outer living) of PI Nick Nowak. In some books the stories flow along with his struggles, both emotional and physical, occasionally ending up with some light and hope for Nick and the readers.But with Heart's Desire (Boystown #11), the latest in this incredible series, the struggle gets darker, heavier for many around him, including his mother in law (sort of), his friend with HIV, even his building super. Oh, and himself, still fighting to recover from being shot It's going very slowly.And Nick can't understand why he's physically not himself, including no sexual relations with his boyfriend.Joseph would like Nick to reject jobs that need surveillance, the very things have have gotten him injured. That's not something that Nick thinks can he do, and while he's thinking about his relationship and his health, a case comes his way in fhe form of his super's sister who believes she's seen a dead body and refuses to go back to her apartment. Should be easy excerpt that the sister has mental illness and there's no body. A typical case for Nick because it's convoluted, dark, and, connecting the dots for Nick manage to bring him up against people that impinge on other parts of his life.There are so many obligations and emotional strings tugging at Nick now. Mrs. Harker has terminal cancer and facing that and her role in his life is rough for Nick, equally so for Terry, the young student who spends most of his time with her and how has a "mature" boyfriend, another factor Nick and his friends are having issues with.Marshall Thornton threads all these incredibly complicated storylines through the novel and Nick's life with such craft and such raw, gritty writing that the narrative and characters stick to your heart, making you think, making you hurt for them. And in this series and because we know the era and history, we fear for them. We know what they are dancing around...the elephant in the room. The tests that some haven't or won't take. AIDS. It's the dark shadow that looms over Nick, his lover, and all his friends and any future they might have.Heart's Desire (Boystown #11) by Marshall Thornton is a must read story in a must read series. I'm not sure how many the author plans. If he intends to finish the 80's, because we are at 1985 now and he other series, Pinx Video, starts in the 1990's. I want more and yet I fear what's to come.I can't recommend this story and series more highly enough!Cover art: Marshall Thornton. Works for branding the series and storyline

Marshall Thornton's Boystown series has been a consistent winner since his first trilogy of novellas. This next edition in thew series doesn't disappoint. Thornton strikes the perfect balance of m2m sex and crime solving content. Nick Nowak is the kind of two fisted man many of us gay men would secretly like to be (or be with). Thornton continues to layer the plots, leaving several untied ends for the next edition. I can't wait to read it.
