February. Omaha, Nebraska has been in the grip of a polar vortex for over a week, driving the temperatures below zero. Job prospects for Detective Carston Hancock III have been as cold as the north wind, few and far between. But as the weather is due to break in the next days, so is Carston’s dry spell. Bar owner Glenda (Glenn) Thompson enters his office with a the hearse carrying the casket with the body of her uncle, Thomas Gunn, was stolen out front of Spaghetti Works in the Market District the day before. The Glenda offers a five thousand dollar bonus if Carston can find the hearse before the cops do. The race is on. But the cops aren’t the only ones Carston needs to worry the Hell Fighter Motorcycle gang is already looking for the stolen hearse as well, and they are willing to take out anyone who gets in their way.
All the detective fun of Link's *G&B Detective Agency* books, but make it noir. Set in Omaha, NE and Council Bluffs, IA, in frigid February, down-on-his-luck PI Carston Hancock III is hired to find a stolen hearse (and its deceased passenger) before the cops do.
