Suburban Dicks

A hilariously entertaining debut about the darkness behind the white picket fence from the co-creator ofΒ DEADPOOL.

Andie Stern thought she'd solved her final homicide. Once a budding FBI profiler, she gave up her career to raise her four (soon to be five) children in West Windsor, New Jersey. But one day, a very-pregnant Andie pulls into a gas station and stumbles across a murder scene. An attendant has been killed, and the bumbling local cops are in way over their heads. Suddenly, Andie is obsessed with the case and back on the trail of a killer, this time with kids in tow.

She soon crosses paths with disgraced local journalist Kenneth Lee, who also has everything to prove in solving the case. A string of unusual occurrencesβ€”and eventually, body partsβ€”surface around town, and Andie and Kenneth uncover simmering racial tensions and a decades-old conspiracy.

A gritty, charming, terrifying, and ultimately wry assessment of just what lurks behind a white picket fence. - Lisa Gardner
