Jake, smitten with him, would have sacrificed his ideals and possibly his position to help him escape. Traces of this are left in the finished Novel and as a result it is darker in tone and harsher towards Adriens psychological well being.

A series of Mystery Novels by Josh Lanyon starting in 2000. Besides the five core novels there are several shorts, an illustrated choose your own adventure version of the first novel as well as a recently added novella.
The titular Adrien-with-an-'e'-English, a sharp-tongued LA Bookseller by day and accidental Amateur Sleuth by night, finds himself stumbling from murder investigation to murder investigation, much to the exasperation of LAPD homocide detective Jake Riordan.
Charming and witty, but self sufficient Adrien not only has to navigate the intricacies of being a suspect in several homocide investigations, but also his growing attraction to Jake, who is closeted and intends to stay that way.
With Adrien being a Mystery Novel buff and and aspiring Mystery writer himself the series is very self-aware and often pokes gentle fun at Mystery novel conventions as well as referencing a lot of writers, famous and obscure.
Backed by a charming cast of secondary characters like Adriens Family, his writers club and employees as well as Jakes Partner, the series is anchored in equal parts around Adriens growth as a person and the mysteries he's trying to solve. Naturally he routienly places himself in mortal jeopardy in the process.
Audio adaptions of all five core books are available.
