Night Frost — Basil Copper

In the deceptively mild atmosphere of the Bahamas, Mike Faraday, the wise-cracking Private Investigator, is involved with his most sinister adversary, Mr. Mandrake. A refrigerated corpse, an underwater duel to the death, ordeal by fighting fish, and a finale "like Macbeth" are some of the specialities of the story in which Faraday's wry brand of humour enlivens the tension of the desperate situations.
