The Ice Cold Bride - Tapa blanda

When Peter Crag, a Philadelphia homicide detective, is wrongly accused of stealing cocaine from the evidence room and cashiered from the force, he joins ex-homicide partner John McCleary’s small and not very successful private detective agency in Philadelphia. When John McCleary is found dead under a boat in Harrah’s Marina casino harbor in Atlantic City, Crag accepts the verdict of accidental drowning until he agrees to look into the disappearance of Carol Fanisi, last known whereabouts the suburban estate of racketeer Abe Schlein. The trail of Carol Fanisi leads him to the inescapable conclusion that his partner had been murdered, but he is now a pariah, a cop turned thief, and if he is going to prove his partner’s death is murder, he is going to have to do it without official help. Unraveling the mysteries of the disappearance of Carol Fanisi and the death of his partner leads Crag to Philly strip clubs, Atlantic City casinos, a stunningly beautiful six foot blond ex-showgirl, and a car containing a young couple and a million dollars at the bottom of a quarry. But for Crag, the questions would always be, why were the higher-ups so eager to accept the word of a convicted drug dealer, and how was he going to get back his good name?
