Synopsis

When two suburban high-school students are found murdered in Chicago - one in a particularly brutal fashion - Detective Paul Turner and his partner, Buck Fenwick, are assigned to the case. Over the years the duo has developed a reputation for being able to handle politically sensitive cases, and since both boys came from prominent families in the area, cases don't get much more sensitive than this one. When the dead teenagers turn out to have been well respected and liked, with a solid family life and no enemies anyone knows about, Turner and Fenwick find themselves grappling with a seemingly motiveless killing. To make matters worse, as a gay father with two teenage sons and a new lover in his life, Turner has difficulty in bringing his full attention to bear on the case. Yet, as details slowly emerge, he begins to suspect that he is investigating something more deadly and more horrifying than a pair of senseless killings, something that could threaten the lives of the people he holds most dear.

Review:

"Besides creating captivating police work and strong storytelling elements, Zubro possesses an ability to write about details like few authors I've encountered. "Another Dead Teenager" is a fine way to spend a night inside witha good book." --"Lavender Lifestyles"
"As in Zubro's previous books, readers have both campy humor and an action filled plot to keep them entertained. Highly recommended--this one's a good read in every sense of the term!" --"Booklist" (on "An Echo of Death")
""An Echo of Death" is a breathless, headlong hurtle through a complex maze of danger and deciet. Like a master magician, the author never allows the reader an instant for reflection, providing instead constant and entertaining diversion....A stellar accomplishment." --"The Clarion Ledger "(Jackson, Mississippi)
""Sorry Now? "is a fast-moving, Chicago based police procedural. Zubro's blend of personal and political concerns makes this story compelling and even urgent." --"Publishers Weekly"
"Zubro is certainly one of the best, perhaps comparable only to Joseph Hansen in his appeal." --"The Purloined Letter" (on "Sorry Now?")
"Chicago itself comes alive...Zubro takes the mystery genre farther than you might expect."
--"Lambda Rising Book Report" (on "The Only Good Priest)"
