Nominated for a 34th annual Lambda Literary Award, this scintillating psychological thriller delivers heart-pounding suspense with an emotional gut-punch you won’t see coming.
Oliver Park has built the life he always dreamed of: sobriety, stability, and a loving partnership with Nathan, a prominent DC trauma surgeon. Their relationship is his anchor, his salvation. But one impulsive visit to Haus, a shadowy gay bathhouse, threatens to shatter everything. What begins as a crossed line becomes a nightmare when Oliver barely escapes a violent encounter, a dark bruise blooming on his neck like evidence of his betrayal.
Racing home in terror, Oliver makes a fatal choice: he lies. And then he keeps lying.
What unfolds is a masterfully crafted runaway-train thriller that builds to “unbearably claustrophobic levels,” according to the Los Angeles Times. P. J. Vernon—a Maine author—weaves a tale of secrets, obsession, and the devastating consequences of deception. Each page turns the screws tighter as Oliver’s carefully constructed world begins to crumble, revealing the dangerous lengths we’ll go to protect the ones we love—and ourselves.
Perfect for readers who devoured The Silent Patient or You, Bath Haus is a propulsive psychological thriller that explores the dark corners of desire, identity, and survival. With exquisite escalations and oh-my-god twists, this is LGBTQ+ suspense at its finest—impossible to put down, impossible to forget.
