When the body of a young woman is found, he just can't refrain from asking a few questions; how did she end up frozen in the ice of an abandoned quarry? Whose fingerprints are those on her slender neck? What was her relationship with the son of Senator McKinnison? And why is her beautiful face caked with forty-year-old theatrical make-up?Before long, octogenarian Crisp finds himself caught up in a tangled murder investigation, haunted by a red-headed ghost, and the target of a killer with a strangely twisted mind. His own grip on reality is slipping, and he's losing his will to keep digging. But he's determined not to go to his grave with these questions unanswered...Olaf Ingraham leaned into the light. "I'd like to've seen the look on Bergie's face when he started cuttin' that fish hole and seen her lookin' up at him." Olaf did his impersonation of a young woman frozen in ice and laughed his stupid laugh.
