Angie Bartoni Case Files #2
Frostbite
A failing IUPUI pre-med student realizes that he will never live up to expectations. He decides that his future lies in inventing a new device that will revolutionize the medical world. He sets out to accomplish that goal but doesn’t have the patience to follow proper protocols. He wants to try out his invention immediately. Skipping the clinical trials, he goes directly to human tests with the expected results.
Detective Angie Bartoni and her new partner, rookie Dan Roberts, are handed the case. With two bodies found in the White River and a third student missing, they are under pressure to find and stop this maniac before he claims more victims.
As if this weren’t enough, an IUPUI professor is shot several times but refuses to cooperate with the police. Bartoni believes the two cases are linked but without cooperation, they are stymied. Their first big break in the case comes when the latest kidnapping victim escapes in a blinding snow storm. With nothing on, she has to run for her life. The bitter cold with impending frostbite is only one obstacle she has to overcome to survive. The “would be” inventor is hunting for her and if he gets to her first, she will end up being the third victim.
Follow Detective Bartoni as she and her partner are sent first in one direction and then another until they finally catch a break. Even then it is not easy, as other obstacles are thrown up before them. This is a fast paced mystery that will be hard to put down once you begin. It has all the elements of a great read.

About the author
M.W. Huffman
25 books6 followersMarshall W. Huffman did not set out to be a published author. Most of his writing was for personal satisfaction. His wife, Susan, consistently tried to talk him into submitting his work for publication but the idea of rejection deterred him.
It wasn’t until 2012 that he finally gave in and at her insistence e-published his first book, THE END. That almost turned out to be a disaster when he accidentally published the rough draft instead of the finished book.
After that little setback and of course, republishing the finished manuscript, his writing career has really taken off.
Marshall’s first trilogy is THE EVENT and consists of THE END, THE BEGINNING, and THE REVELATION. His second trilogy is called THE SECOND CIVIL WAR. BOOK I- A NATION DIVIDED; BOOK II - A NATION AT WAR; and BOOK III - A NATION HEALING. The series is a look at today's world and what could well happen within the next few years.
He has also published a series of books entitled: THE LOGAN FILES with a central cast of characters. In addition, he has another series entitled: THE NORRIS FILES with its own set of central characters. He enjoys writing mysteries, techno-thrillers, and Sci-Fi.
His newest books THE BRINK – DEEP FLIGHT and THE BRINK – DAY OF RECKONING are intense techno-thrillers with Sci-Fi intertwined. His latest addition is CHIMERA. It is a look at what could well happen if we don’t stop twisting science in perverted way.
Marshall was born in Bainbridge, Georgia and grew up in Indiana. After spending eight years in the Navy, he attended Ball State University, earning a B.S. degree in Business.
During and after college, he was involved in the restaurant business and spent the next twenty-five years in all types of venues, eventually owing his own fine dining restaurant. After years of long hours, he decided on a career change.
He attended Eastern Illinois University earning a MBA. Because of his business background, Eastern Illinois University asked him to teach in the hospitality management program. He was recruited from Eastern to Parkland College and soon took over as the Program Director for the Hospitality Program.
During his tenure there, he became a chef and had a television show called Cooking around the World with Chef Marshall and taught a series of cooking classes for Continuing Education as well.
Professor Huffman retired from teaching along with his wife, Dr. Susan Huffman, to Tampa Bay Florida.

Bartoni at her best. Sharp witted, aggressive detective work gets the job done.
