More about Tom & Scott

Friends approach school teacher Tom Mason and ask him to investigate the death of Father Sebastian, who was involved in the gay Catholic organization Faith. It's another opportunity to see the interplay between Tom and his lover, baseball star Scott Carpenter, and the characters get deeper and more interesting in each outing. I love the way Tom and Scott are both macho guys, each in his own way, and yet they're both surprisingly vulnerable. Neil Plakcy, author of Mahu Surfer: A Hawaiian Mystery (An Alyson Mystery)
