So, as part of my evil plot to catch up with a book in a series I read previously, I finished Greg Herren's Jackson Square Blues a few days ago, thus getting me current with the next volume, which is where I started all this. And now I've come to find out the series has nine volumes, and the library only has volumes one and two, with me owning three.
So yeah.
Anyway, Scott starts the book off visiting DC to spend time with Frank, his hot FBI boyfriend of sorts. Which sets off a typical gay crisis of "Can I be exclusive, or am I always going to be a raging slut?" soliloquy with Scott. Shameless hussy seems to be winning, as Scott ends up hooking up with a famous amateur figure skater in town for the World Finals. Not that he remembers the hook up, or even the name of the guy, since tequila was involved.
All of which leads to discovery of who the hook up is, the murder of what everyone assumes is a tabloid writer seeking to out the figure skater, and a missing Death Mask of Napoleon's. Eventually we get a clear picture of what's going on, and how things are and aren't related, and Colin, the stripper cat burgler from the last book, comes back and changes a bunch of relationship ideas. (Having seen how this affects everything in Book 3, I kind of feel like the author liked the character, but couldn't really figure out how best to utilize him.)
Fun book, lightly smutty, and making me really want to go see New Orleans.
