Dan's BDSM past as a Marine threatens his relationship with Mark, his professional and leathersex partner as the two hunky young Palm Springs private eyes wrestle with the cages, real and imaginary, in the violence of mixed martial arts and in the human mind. Set in the different worlds of the Marince Corps and mixed martial arts, "Cages - Cathedral City" is the second BDSM mystery involving buff Palm Springs private eyes and leathersex partners Dan and Mark. Cages come in different forms - the ring for violent MMA contests, the iron-barred narrow cells for defiant captives, and the imaginary cages the mind creates to torment men. Dan and Mark will experience all three over time as the actions moves from Camp Pendleton, California to Berlin and back to the community of Cathedral City. Will the darkness of violence and decadence overpower the light of determination and devotion?
