Closet - (Todd Mills) by R D Zimmerman (Paperback)

About the Book

In this Lambda Award-winning series debut, successful TV news reporter Todd Mills is thrown out of the closet and into the fire, as the double life he has been leading comes crashing down. Under suspicion in the murder of a former lover, Todd moves through a world of gay bars, steamy nightclubs, and double identities to find out who the real killer is--and where he'll strike next.

Book Synopsis

It began with a brutal attack in a posh Minneapolis neighborhood. And from the first killing to the next, Todd Mills was at the center of the story. The son of Polish immigrants, Todd had changed his name and risen to the top of his field as a TV news reporter, winning two Emmy Awards along the way. Then his world came crashing down. Suddenly, the double life he'd hidden for so long was brutally uncovered: he was the secret lover of the first man to die.

When Michael was murdered, Todd lost everything--including a life lived as a lie. Now he's out of the closet and under suspicion, desperately investigating the killings himself, moving through a world of gay bars, steamy nightclubs, and double identities--where the one secret that matters most belongs to a killer who will strike again . . . and again.
