When a body is found in a freezer, Murray Whelan is asked to investigate. Danger soon comes at him from all angles and to make matters worse, his wife has left him, his house is falling apart and he has a disgruntled, tattooed voter hanging around his office.

An artist is dead and Murray Whelan is out looking for answers. With villains on his tail, he is chased by cars and dangled from tall buildings, but he manages to escape death at every turn - for the next ten minutes, at least.
