When Conan Flagg ended up on the receiving end of a friend's hefty punch one stormy night, a broken hand and sore jaw were only the least of the damages. For Brian Tally, owner of the Surf House restaurant had aimed his swing at an IRS auditor... and although he had laid Conan out instead, the auditor turned up the next morning - dead - in the Surf House freezer. Of all the suspects, Brian is the only one without an alibi, and one piece of incriminating evidence seems to prove his guilt beyond a doubt. Conan, however, prefers to entertain other possibilities... perhaps the head chef in love with Brian's girlfriend, perhaps a pill-popping janitor, or the almost too-perfect matronly bookkeeper, or the alcoholic real estate agent . . . yet Brian seems flawlessly framed. And Conan Flagg once again dons his role as detective to save a friend and solve a fascinating, deadly riddle.
