Summary
"Tom Mason, a former high school teacher, and his long-term lover, former baseball player Scott Carpenter, recently experienced the most difficult and stressful event that any couple can endure - a wedding ceremony. Now the couple decides to leave town for a little rest, relaxation, and some much-needed time alone." "The privately held Aegean island of Korkasi seems perfectly suited to their needs for privacy and comfort. All that surrounds them are twenty-two villas with like-minded couples, palm trees, and the ocean breeze. But that tranquil setting soon changes when a dangerous storm hits, cutting them off from all contact with the outside world. They're trapped on the island, and things take a startling turn for the worse when the current owner of the island is found murdered, his body lying on the floor of Tom and Scott's villa. Now, as the storm gains speed and ravishes the island, guests and employees are being picked off one by one by a person or persons unknown. Clutching to only each other, and with no hope of outside help, Tom and Scott must uncover the murderer and stop him before everybody - including them - is dead."--BOOK JACKET.

Publishers Weekly Review
Lovebirds Tom Mason, a retired Chicago high school teacher, and Scott Carpenter, a former major league baseball player, find their New Year's vacation on the Aegean island of Korkasi violently interrupted in Zubro's breathless 12th Tom and Scott mystery (after 2004's File Under Dead). First the owner of the world's "most expensive and exclusive gay resort" turns up dead in the couple's lodgings, then an explosion at the resort's headquarters kills many staff members. A storm cuts off the island from assistance as the body count rises. Suspects include those who reek of supercilious "A-gay disdain" and others of sordid criminal habits and aliases. Smoothly written but extremely talky, this has less crossover appeal to straight readers than, say, The Actor's Guide to Greed and other titles in Rick Copp's gay-themed mystery series.
