Overview

A gay father fights to save the son he never knew from a life in the streets and from the darkness that haunts him. However, the father has his own demons and finds that he must not only save his son's life, but his own life as well. Leaving Gomorrah brings together all the main characters from the first two books in the 'This Place of Men Series' ('This Place of Men' and 'People Like Us').

Otis is a gay man who discovers he has a son from a one night affair many years ago. Now his son, Antonio, a young man in his twenties, has come to live with him. Everything is fine until Otis realizes that Antonio is living a secret life hustling his body. It's a trade Otis is well aware of because he once lived that same life.

Antonio, Otis’s son, feels he has been blessed with great sexual prowess, just like his father. He doesn’t consider himself gay or bi-sexual, but he has used his ‘gift’ to dominate both men and women to get what he wants. But there is one thing he can’t get from sex, and that is peace of mind from the darkness that haunts him, the same darkness that haunted, and later destroyed his mother.

Now Otis must fight to save Antonio from a life in the streets and from the darkness that haunts him. However, Otis has his own demons, and he finds that he must not only save his son's life, but his own life as well. Eventually, the battle between these men and the streets as well as their pasts comes to an explosive end.

Leaving Gomorrah brings all the main characters from the first two books, 'This Place of Men' and 'People Like Us' together and is the third book in the This Place of Men Series.
