Frozen Stare

Jack Grant, Vietnam vet turned L.A. private eye, spends his days busting small-time insurance defrauders. But his latest client gives him the cold shoulder-literally- when he turns up dead in a tub of ice. Another body in a downtown meat freezer is only the second in a chilling series of murders. Soon Jack is plunged into a murky underworld of Chilean exiles where evil masquerades as virtue and nothing is as it seems. The first book in the Jack Grant mystery series, Frozen Stare is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.
