Suburban Dicks

A fast-paced murder mystery, perfect for fans of Tom Perrotta, from the co-creator of DEADPOOL.

New Jersey, US.

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 occurrences and eventually, body parts surface around town, and Andie and Kenneth uncover simmering racial tensions and a decades-old conspiracy.

“Suburban Dicks offers a gritty, charming, terrifying, and ultimately wry assessment of just what lurks behind a white picket fence.” LISA GARDNER

“A surprising first novel with heart, humor, and an insightful look into the joys and miseries of picket-fence living. Beware. Suburban Dicks will keep you guessing, especially when it comes to this small town's secrets.” BRAD MELTZER

“Suburban Dicks is a can't-miss romp that introduces two protagonists you won't soon forget. Sharp, insightful, belly-laugh-inducing, and impossible to put down, Nicieza has crafted one hell of a debut - one that has the poise and charm of a tenth novel instead of a first. You won't want to miss this unique and memorable crime novel.” ALEX SEGURA
