Harlan’s Race
Patricia Nell Warren
After his young athlete lover is assassinated on the Olympic track in Montreal, coach Harlan Brown is forced to enter the race of his life. To survive the hate and violence which threaten his chosen family – Betsy, valiant lesbian mother, Vince, angry activist seeking revenge, Chino, Vietnam vet with a wounded heart, and the secret child of Billy Sive, The Front Runner.
In time, a second chance at love comes. Vince Matti, 25, a runner who was Billy’s best friend, has harbored an unrequited passion for his ex-Marine coach. Handsome, volatile, and passionate, Vince challenges Harlan’s stoic and lonely heart in unimagined ways. Harlan must race with the shadow of the past – that memory of the brief idyll with Billy – and reach a present where love is enduring and real.
Meanwhile, Harlan’s ordeal with bias and bloodshed is not over. Snipers often work in pairs, and the Montreal shooter evidently had a cohort who escaped arrest. This mysterious stalker moves implacably into Harlan’s world. And yet another stalker is moving into gay life – a disease that has no name. As events move to the climax, Harlan runs the most desperate race of his life – risking everything to win the victory torn from his hands at Montreal.
