Summary: An Exciting Adventurous Romp!
Comment: Mark Richard Zubro's fifth installment in the prolific "Tom and Scott" mystery series does not disappoint; and while it may be slightly lacking in character study and development, the suspense is rock solid, and the mystery is actually semi-plausible.
Tom Mason, a suburban high school teacher, and Scott Carpenter, a professional baseball player, are lovers, who returning home one night to Scott's luxurious Chicago high-rise penthouse discover the body of Glen Proctor, a former teammate of Scott's. Proctor may have been dealing in drugs or participating in other illegal and illict activities which may have contributed to his untimely demise.
From the very opening pages, Tom and Scott are on the prowl to find the killers. The only complication: the killers are also stalking Tom and Scott. Throughout, there are plentiful high speed chases through downtown Chicago, as our two heroes race against time and possible South American drug lords and relic hunters.
I really don't think Zubro gets enough credit. He churns out great books that any true mystery fan will enjoy. Aside from the fact that his two main characters are gay men , this is not exclusively "gay fiction." It's not about the trials and tribulations Tom and Scott face as a gay couple (for the most part), it's not a weepy drama about true love or coming out. This book is about two gay men being stalked, shot at, pursued, kidnapped as well as a host of other exciting, tension filled situations.
Despite this, I know of no other way than to describe this a romp. While the suspense escalates, the fates of the two main characters is never doubted, and you know by the end, the forces of good will have triumphed over evil. In any event, fans of mysteries looking to try something new will rarely go wrong with anything by Zubro.
