H. N. Hirsch
A modern murder mystery. Assistant Professor Marcus George, a young, gay Harvard faculty member striving to find his footing in the Ivy League, is drawn into investigating the murder of one of his former students, the son of an elite Massachusetts family. Centered on the tense, competitive world of academic politics, the narrative vividly captures the publish-or-perish standards of academia, the strictures of life in exclusive enclaves in Boston and Kennebunkport, and the gay subculture along the New England coast. As he investigates the murder, Marcus stumbles across academic and financial corruption that could ruin several lives -- even as he falls into a tender and heartwarming love affair that will change his own. Hirsch's first novel is a beautifully realized, gripping tale in the classic style of the murder mystery genre.

"This book had me hooked form the first line! I appreciate the forbidding in the beginning which totally set the tone for the entire story. This style of writing puts me in the mind of James Hansen. The character development the story's twists and turns were a brilliant adventure. Funny enough as I was reading about Bob and Marcus. I was picturing Tab Hunter and Tony Perkins (LOL) .
