About this listen

Set in atmospheric 1950s San Francisco, Rough Pages asks who is allowed to tell their own stories, and how far would you go to seek out the truth.

Private Detective Evander “Andy” Mills has been drawn back to the Lavender House estate for a missing person case. Pat, the family butler, has been volunteering for a book service, one that specializes in mailing queer books to a carefully guarded list of subscribers. With bookseller Howard Salzberger gone suspiciously missing along with his address book, everyone on that list, including some of Andy's closest friends, is now in danger.

A search of Howard’s bookstore reveals that someone wanted to stop him and his co-owner, Dorothea Lamb, from sending out their next book. The evidence points not just to the Feds, but to the Mafia, who would be happy to use the subscriber list for blackmail.

Andy has to maneuver through both the government and the criminal world, all while dealing with a nosy reporter who remembers him from his days as a police detective and wants to know why he’s no longer a cop. With his own secrets closing in on him, can Andy find the list before all the lives on it are at risk?

Critic reviews

"Immersive ...Rosen buttresses his solid suspense plot with a rendering of midcentury San Francisco that feels realistic in its depiction of the dangers facing the city’s gay residents but refreshingly optimistic about their ability to lead fulfilled lives."–Publishers Weekly

A story about stories. A book about books.

A story about stories. A book about books. And this is earnest and honest in all the right places, it feels. Evander Mills becomes a surprisingly convincing example of defiant happiness and survival while never forgetting the very real and very dangerous homophobia of the era, and that’s made me like him more than I thought I would. Good read. Would recommend.

Fantastic characters

Some of the secondary character voices were hard to listen to, but I loved the story so much it was worth it. Great plot, and the cast of characters is delightful and complex and wonderfully queer.
