Igloos in the Desert

About the Book

A young African-American technician discovers a contract breach at the Desert Chemical Weapons Depot. Unfortunately, before he completes his investigation he is murdered. His body, cash, and cocaine are discovered in his apartment, and the police conclude the murder was drug related. Dr. Smithfield, a prominent physician, cries foul and rejects the notion that his son was involved in a drug deal. Bill McNamara, a seasoned detective, is charged with the task of proving Dr. Smithfield’s son was a drug dealer. McNamara clashes with Smithfield, but the weight of the real evidence forces McNamara to approach the case differently. Together, Smithfield and McNamara make an ominous discovery.
