What do you do when you come home from a fund-raiser, find a dead body in your lakefront penthouse, hear strange noises, get chased by machine-gun-carrying thugs, and end up in Chicago's underground tunnels? High-school English teacher Tom Mason and his lover, professional baseball player Scott Carpenter, find out when Carpenter's former teammate Glen Proctor's corpse turns up in their living room and they start getting chased through the building, tunnels, streets, and parks by men intent on capturing them. Their adventure includes drug lords, ancient Mexican relics, and (believe it or not) Carpenter driving a horse-drawn carriage in downtown Chicago while being chased by killers. As in Zubro's previous books featuring the dynamic duo, Mason does more of the detective work than the Chicago police, and readers have both campy humor and an action-filled plot to keep them entertained. Highly recommended for all fiction collections--this one's a good read in every sense of the term!
