Adrenaline

It begins as a routine trick: two guys on a beach after midnight. Instant attraction, chemical overload, but in the heat of the moment they are interrupted. Brutalised by police, they fight back, a cop dies and Nick and Jeff are on the run through Los Angeles at its worst. James Robert Baker's cult first novel is at once an anarchist's howl of rage at the oppression and soulless culture of Hollywood, and a noir thriller peppered with hilarious vignettes and ironic insights.
