From the publisher (source: The Internet Book List):
Paul Turner is a widowed father of two teenaged boys, one of whom has spina bifida. He is also rapidly approaching middle age and is used to dealing gracefully with all the challenges his life entails. Turner, however, is slightly different from others in his same situation—he's openly gay and a homicide detective for the Chicago Police Department. Despite everything, his personal and family life is relatively placid. Until now.
This time, his life couldn't possibly get more complex and problematic. There's a Science Fiction and Media convention in Chicago this weekend—one of the world's largest such gathering—and his sons are both attending. In full costume. And Paul Turner, like any good father, is going with them. If the prospect of that weren't bad enough, one of the convention's guests, one of the field's most successful fantasy writers, is found murdered, most likely by the broadsword found rammed throught the corpse's chest. In most circumstances a broadsword would be a unique murder weapon, but this time there are hundreds of attendees carrying similar ones as part of their costumes, including his own son.
That one gruesome murder is just the beginning—the dead bodies amid the revelers are starting to pile up—and Turner must sort through a confusing array of suspects in short order if he's to find the killer in time.
