Summary: A Thriller for the Ages
Comment: There's nothing wrong with this book. Nothing at all. Everything Picano put into print in this fine piece of fiction is absolutely mesmerizing. It is impossible to stop reading it. It will grip you tightly and take you away to the fantastic world where Picano weaves a web of crime, corruption, love, sex, hatred, and kink.
If you read this book, you will never forget it. I think it is the finest example of mystery fiction in the last half of the twentieth century.
Heterosexual Noel Cummings stumbles across a murder in action. He tries to prevent it, but fails. Subsequently, he is drafted into service as an undercover operative searching for the killer in gay New York. When he enters the world, he can see right and wrong as plainly as black and white, but over time, he begins to question reality as he knows it. The murderer keeps on killing and Noel is always just one step away from him.
Picano is one of the best writers of this or any generation and The Lure is quite possibly the finest book he's ever written. When originally published, The Lure was on the Book of the Month club list and was an instant best seller. Time has not taken its toll on this book even though the action takes place some twenty years ago.
Set aside a few hours to be swept away to a dark and scary world where you don't know who your real friends are. You'll not regret it.

Summary: The Lure
Comment: Hi from Russia! It's three years since I've first read this book and I still consider it's the best or one of the best books I've EVER read. It's a great thriller and beautiful romance, it's funny and sad, and it's simply impossible to forget it once you've finished reading. It'll stay with you till tthe end of your life, every word of it. I can't think of a comparison that would be good enough to give you an idea what the book is like. Read for yourself, you won't need any compfrisons.

Summary: Perspective
Comment: I read this book in 1980 when it was featured as the Monthly Selection of the Literary Guild book club. I have since re-read the book 2 times. The setting is definitely dated. However, I believe it is a very important work because of the fact that two different book clubs featured the novel as "Selection of the Month". In 1979-1980 a book that featured the gay community, no matter what point-of-reference was unheard of. For readers that never experienced that era, the subject may seem ridiculous. However, this novel did much for the isolated in rural areas of the country that read a "mainstream" novel on a subject such as The Lure's. This novel's importance goes far beyond the subject, setting and characters included in its pages.
