Synopsis

Simple Suburban Murder is the book that started it all--the debut novel of Lambda Literary Award winner Mark Richard Zubro.

When a gay high school teacher starts investigating a colleague's murder, he finds beneath the calm veneer of his Midwestern suburb a seamy underbelly of gambling, prostitution, and child abuse.

About this title

About the Author:

Mark Richard Zubro is the Lambda Literary Award winning author of two gay mystery series - the Tom & Scott series featuring high school teacher Tom Mason and his lover professional baseball player Scott Carpenter, and the Paul Turner series, featuring gay Chicago Police Detective Paul Turner. He is a high-school teacher, and president of the teacher's union, in the Chicago suburb of Mokena, Illinois.

From Publishers Weekly:

A high school English teacher in suburban Chicago sets out to find the murderer of a very unpopular colleague in this "competently written" debut. PW noted that the mystery is "surprisingly entertaining in spite of its focus: child homosexual prostitution and snuff movies, among other unsavory topics."
