For those of you who have read the other mysteries by Mark Richard Zubro, this mystery should be no different. Detective Turner is back and they are searching for the murderer of a federal judge. This New Years Eve murder keeps Turner and his partner busy as they travel through the gay area of Chicago looking for the killer. It is well paced, well developed characters and an intresting plot. If you have read Zubro before you will enjoy this one as much as the others.

Easily the best of Zubro's novels. Snappy dialogue. Good plotting. No preachy diatribes. A look into an honest friendship between two detectives, one straight, one gay. And a good swipe at the pompous judiciary. Bravo Mark. Can we expect more of this caliber

Detective Paul Turner and his partner, Buck Fenwick, investigate the death of a homophobic federal judge. Though he is reluctant at first, because he fears that his dislike of the man's politics will interfere with his investigation, Turner plunges in. One of the things that has bothered me about this series is that someone close to Turner usually gets in danger-- and I'm glad that's not the case here. A good solid mystery; I liked it.
