You know early where this is going, but the trek is worth taking and there are surprises. Nicely written.

Fine stories have become rarer at Nifty--there are better sites, such as AD--but I recommend this one highly. It has a wonderful time and place feel with fine characters.

I see that Driver has now finished his latest story. I've not yet read it, but all of his other ones have been very good to outstanding.
Here it is:

Quality stories on Nifty are rarer and rarer, but an exception is https://nifty.org/nifty/gay/adult-friends/my-summer-on-fire-island.html . It is a good well-written story and highly erotic (ending with a predictable, heavy-sex session--something, I suppose, seems to be al Nifty requirement) .
I liked this story over at GayAuthors despite the author's decision an overly large number of (well-written) sex scenes. The story explores the rock-music stardom scene in interesting detail and with finely drawn characters. [The sex scenes are, of course, skimmable if you're staying with the underlying story.]

My folks used to read Ellery Queen and MIckey Spillane's mysteries, originating, I believe, in the 1920s.
For WW II and mystery fans, I recommend the Billy Boyle series, which is recent but set in the 1940s and very well done.
After enjoying Double Concerto, I went back to look at Parker Owens' other stories and found a gem:

Engrossing. Well constructed. Fine writing.
While Nifty has become a bit of a desert with regard to good stories, this fine one is an exception.

This is a story that reaches the top of my all-time-best list. There is excellent character development and growth. It is well written, and it is absorbing. I can't recommend it highly enough.
