Drop Dead

Gay Chicago police detective Paul Turner and his partner, Detective Buck Fenwick, pull all the sensitive homicide cases - the ones with political ramifications or intense media coverage, where careful handling and a quick resolution are required. All his years on the force, however, haven't prepared Turner for what he faces when male super-model Cullom Furyk plunges off the top of a major downtown hotel. With one streetside witness claiming that Furyk was pushed to his death, Turner and Fenwick have to reconstruct the crime and discover what actually happened, while the press hounds them for results. But Furyk led a messy personal and professional life. Some say he was preparing to cancel his lucrative exclusive arrangement with one Chicago fashion house to work with its main rival, while others insist that wasn't true. And on the personal side, several men claim to have had recent affairs or to have maintained an ongoing relationship with Furyk. All that Turner knows for sure is that someone - probably - murdered the model and the city is filled with people who had ample motive and opportunity. And if Turner and Fenwick don't solve this case - and quickly - then someone will have gotten away with murder.
