Four days after being temporarily assigned to the detective division of a sleepy suburban police department, a young officer is thrust into the task of investigating a double homicide. The investigation takes the upstart officer through unfamiliar and dangerous encounters, including suspicion that his agency is incapable of an investigation of this magnitude.

Inspired by a case Louis A. Dorio worked during his twenty years in a "bedroom community" police department, Murder Finds the Suburbs is thrilling true-crime drama that shows evil--as well as service and justice--are everywhere, not just big cities.
