A Question of Motive: Motive

'A Question of Motive' is a semi-autobiographical novel about a rogue and a scoundrel who is attracted equally to young women and boys. The novel chronicles Ben's earliest sexual encounters with young boys and later with intelligent women. Eventually, in his middle age and long since divorced after twenty years of marriage, Ben, who as an anti-hero, forms a national organisation for the lovers of boys and for this he is imprisoned. The book appears to be a life story but is largely fictitious.
