Chilling Out — Andrew Puckett

The body found frozen solid in the Tamar is that of Dr. Adam Goring, the executive behind the imminent closure of the Tamar Transfusion Centre, but who killed him and why did they freeze his body before dumping it in the river? On the day he disappeared, Goring had taken part in a debate on national television, in which Jessie Pengellis, manager of the centre, accused him of corruption over the closure. For this, he vowed to have her sacked and then sue her for slander -- tricky, now that he's dead. But the centre is a degenerate place and the stink of treachery pervades its corridors and when Department of Health Inspector, Tom Jones starts poking his unwanted nose in, he finds a hornets' nest of petty resentments and not so petty hatreds.
