Gay-Murder in Chicago, press for Gay Marriage Cause

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Antonio, Texas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 28, 2011 -- Many gays never heard about the ultimate gay novel of the 70s, “The Front Runner,” which was long before ‘Brokeback Mountain.’ Now there is Jon and Mieko, in Jere Myles’ riveting murder trilogy which began with “Murder on the Pier,” and continues with Murder Behind Closed Doors.

Second of Jere Myles' books, set in Chicago and ahead of its time in the 1990s, the story of Jon & Mieko gives you one of the best arguments for marriage or civil unions than the courts. ‘You can’t legislate love,’ one of the principal characters states. In Murder Behind Closed Doors there are new characters that are destined to make a difference and tell you out who and why Mieko was killed, as we wonder if in fact Jon was killed also.

It’s a page turner as one reviewer stated: I couldn't stop reading after a couple of chapters. I was too caught up in plot and character, it seemed almost filmic: the cadence of his sentence structure creating anticipatory tension, driving the suspense like a movie score. My heartbeat picked up speed as I read ever closer to the book's final pages…fuller and more nuanced in other ways as well -- like a snowbal picking up speed, girth and detritus rolling down a mountain. Myles manages to "normalize" the legitimacy of same-sex relationships so deftly that I'm caught off-guard when homophobic dialogue intrudes - the way I always am when Klan brutality encroaches on stories of another sort. Point driven home without the use of a hammer. In fact, the humanity underscoring the development of this theme puts the trilogy on the list of possibilities for a great Christmas present for suspense-loving parents struggling to meld ideas of another era with realities of today's world.

Myles’ books rock your understanding of today’s gay culture, compel you to think while help solidify an understanding with your partner within a society that marginalizes love stories it can’t understand. Jon and Mieko help you figure out how to get to a place where they handled change because their love was an instrument of change, before it was shattered.

This murder mystery trilogy is destined to be more than casual conversation at clubs, across dinner tables, even in courts and college classrooms, as these two men take on the Chicago establishment. They are Goliath killers with an array of characters who feel the time has come to stop the hypocrisy of loving the sinner and hating the sin. Will they win? Get the book and find out. You simply can’t put it down.

Destined to be a movie one day, be the first to share with your friend as you try to figure out why anyone would want to kill someone only because they can’t understand how they love someone else.
