Craig Lenzati is one of the richest and most powerful men in Chicago
-- as the CEO and co-founder of Chicago's answer to Microsoft, he wields
enormous economic and political power. Lenzati was also found brutally
murdered -- with dozens if not hundreds of stab wounds -- in the midst
of the mansion in which he lived alone. With the murder reported anonymously,
the security camera videos missing, and City Hall pressuring for a quick
and quiet resolution to the murder, Detective Paul Turner and Buck Fenwick
are well aware they are facing one of the most difficult cases of their
careers. In addition, Chicago is next in line for a visit from a traveling
serial killer -- one who seems to specialize in cops -- and, if this serial
killer really exists, it seems that Fenwick is on his list. As they investigate deeper into Lenzati's murder, it soon becomes clear
that he was deeply embroiled in something -- a sordid game that may have
lead to his death. If so, then Turner and Fenwick don't have much time
to unravel the mysteries behind the game Lenzati was playing before the
killer strikes again. And that doesn't leave them much time to find out
who is stalking Fenwick, much less keep him alive. Mark Richard Zubro is the author of over a dozen previous mysteries,
including the Lambda Literary Award winning A Simple Suburban Murder
and the recent One Dead Drag Queen. He is a high school teacher
and lives in Mokena, Illinois.
