The Icebox Incident. Detective Oto Gage, #3

When the body of a city building inspector is discovered stuffed inside an unplugged icebox behind an abandoned café on Commerce Street, no one's calling it accidental. But what looks like a mob hit doesn't sit right with Detective Oto Gage. The dead man, Philip Greenwald, was clean on paper-no debts, no gambling habit, no enemies. But when Gage starts poking around, he finds a tangled paper trail of forged permits, shell construction companies, and real estate deals approved on buildings that don't exist.
With the internal affairs office breathing down his neck, a rookie partner he doesn't trust, and a heat wave cooking tempers across the city, Oto Gage has to solve the case before the whole thing goes cold-or someone else turns up in an icebox.
