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.
