How Many People Can One Person Be?

Ellison Lee lives a double life. Well triple, if you count the one he shows his parents. He's an anchor for the student-run Eyewitness News in downtown Portland. A business major on the six-year plan like so many of the EWN staff. His family is very proud of him. They had hoped for a STEM major, but this is good too.

And then there's E. Lee. He's a pole dancer at the Stag, a gay bar down in Chinatown. He makes good money, and he likes it. Someday he'll give it up, but not now, not yet.

E. Lee's lover is a man he only knows as P3. He doesn't know where he lives, what he does for a living, nothing. He only knows that this is a man he wants to keep forever.

Ryan Matthews does know P3, however, and he doesn't think Ellison Lee has any business getting near the psychopath who tried to kill him a year ago.

E. Lee? Well, that may be a different story. And if there is one thing Ryan Matthews does believe in, it's second chances.

Year 3, book 4. The 19th book of the Newsroom PDX series, a political suspense story in downtown Portland. Expect foul language, some sex, lot's of politics — Portland.
