Description
Rape and murder on Beacon Hlll- and an easily apprehended suspect picked up in a room full of Tomcat Kalendar Kitty cutouts. Suicide in Washington-and a sudden Justice Department vendetta, with the United States Attorney General the hunter and Irvin Kane his quarry- And all of this is only the beginning.
Who is Irvin Kane, this eccentric genius who has ripped away the last Victorian veils in his Tomcat Magazine? And what goes on in Tomcat House, that wild pleasure dome from which the wildest rumors fly?
Only the author of the sensational The Exhibitionist could tell the even more sensational story of Irvin Kane’s strange life-his meteoric rise to power as the spokesman for our swinging age and his brilliant counter-maneuvers as the armies of retribution close in for the headline-hallooed kill.
It is also the story of the men, and women who lived in the world of Tomcat House, who fought and lusted in the glow of Kane’s charismatic personality, and who were caught in the clash of forces, culminating in a precedent-shattering courtroom battle waged all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Censorship and freedom of the press, the issue of privacy the value of a man’s soul” the price that society exacts from its pioneers and prophets-these are the issues Henry Sutton brings forward in his challenging new novel, The Voyeur.
