Here Comes the Corpse

Chicago-area high school teacher Tom Mason and his lover, professional baseball player Scott Carpenter, have had a taxing year. After publicly coming out, Scott and Tom have had to deal with a firestorm of publicity, a major loss of privacy, a great outpouring of support, and an equal number of cranks. Now, finally, they are going to do something that they've always wanted to do - get married in a service before their family and close friends. Despite the potential problems of such an event, the ceremony comes off with nary a hitch.

With the reception in full swing - and a guest list ranging from longtime family friends and coworkers to the cream of the social elite - a small problem emerges. Tom happens to stumble over an ex-boyfriend from many years ago in the bathroom. Unfortunately, what he stumbles across is actually the corpse of the murdered ex-boyfriend, and in addition to casting something of a pall over the proceedings, it puts Tom in the awkward position of being the prime suspect in the murder. If Tom and Scott are ever going to get away on their long-planned honeymoon, Tom is going to have to uncover the truth behind the murder of this unwanted guest.
