Review Quotes

"Besides creating captivating police work and strong storytelling elements, Zubro possesses an ability to write about details like few authors I've encountered. Another Dead Teenager is a fine way to spend a night inside witha good book." --Lavender Lifestyles

"As in Zubro's previous books, readers have both campy humor and an action filled plot to keep them entertained. Highly recommended--this one's a good read in every sense of the term!" --Booklist (on An Echo of Death)

"An Echo of Death is a breathless, headlong hurtle through a complex maze of danger and deciet. Like a master magician, the author never allows the reader an instant for reflection, providing instead constant and entertaining diversion....A stellar accomplishment." --The Clarion Ledger (Jackson, Mississippi)

"Sorry Now? is a fast-moving, Chicago based police procedural. Zubro's blend of personal and political concerns makes this story compelling and even urgent." --Publishers Weekly

"Zubro is certainly one of the best, perhaps comparable only to Joseph Hansen in his appeal." --The Purloined Letter (on Sorry Now?)

"Chicago itself comes alive...Zubro takes the mystery genre farther than you might expect." --Lambda Rising Book Report (on The Only Good Priest)
