The ice man

A missing man with loads of money.
A lady Pinkerton with loads of brass.
Will that, and clever detective work, be enough to solve the case?

November, 1932

Laurel is dreading Thanksgiving. So much so that she’s downright relieved when the Pinkerton office receives a call for help. Eager to put her holiday plans on hold, she races across the city to the home of ice factory mogul, Gerald Eymann.

It seems Gerald has gone missing, leaving his wife fearing the worst and desperate to find him. As Laurel digs into the case the facts quickly begin to twist and turn on her.

A mystery girl.
An absent step-son.
A doctor fixated on the frantic wife.

The further Laurel digs into the mystery, the more suspicious she becomes of all those involved. With the clock ticking and her Pinkerton boss breathing down her neck, can she find the Ice Man before the trail gets cold?

The Case of the Ice Man is the second installment of the Laurel Private Eye Series. Thrilling female gumshoe mysteries meet witty repartee in this return to the Golden Age of detective stories!

Somewhere between the places and characters of O Brother Where Art Thou and the gritty tales of Raymond Chandler is the adventures of Laurel, Tom and Major Goodall. Seen mostly through Laurel’s eyes, it’s a twist on classic PI stories of yore.
