Here Comes the Corpse

Happy never after? Murder crashes the wedding in the ninth Tom & Scott Mystery from the Lambda Literary Award–winning author of One Dead Drag Queen.

Chicago area high school teacher Tom Mason and his lover, professional baseball player Scott Carpenter, have had a taxing year. After publicly coming out, Scott and Tom have had to deal with a firestorm of publicity, a major loss of privacy, a great outpouring of support and an equal number of cranks. Now, finally, they are going to do something that they’ve always wanted—get married in a service before their family and close friends. Despite the potential problems of such of an event, the ceremony comes off with nary a hitch.

With the reception in full swing—and a guest list ranging from long-time family friends and co-workers to the cream of the social elite—a small problem emerges. Tom happens to stumble over an ex-boyfriend from many years ago in the bathroom. Unfortunately, what he stumbles across is actually the corpse of the murdered ex-boyfriend. In addition to casting something of a pall over the proceedings, it puts Tom in the awkward position of being the prime suspect. If he’s ever going to get to go on his long-planned honeymoon, Tom is going to have to uncover the truth behind the murder of this unwanted guest.

“Zubro’s fans will cheer just about everything in the new Tom and Scott mystery.” —Booklist
