This book begins when Callie finds a dead man in the walk in freezer of the restaurant she manages. Then the story reverts back to 9 days before this gruesome discovery. The Chef and Callie are in Sharkey's Bar where the Chef is trying to convince her there are things missing from the stores of the restaurant. Chef appears to be very drunk at the time, and maybe taking some drugs as well. It soon becomes apparent that he is right, and also that there are a lot of illegal drugs floating around . Callie and the Hotel manager, Lily, begin a quiet investigation as to how, when, and where the drugs are being made available. More and more it seems they are being smuggled in with the frozen seafood for the restaurant, but who is involved and how is it being done? There is a cast of characters all of whom could be involved. And when Callie finds a dog and they, Callie, the dog ,and Ice, Callie's cat, move into the shelter of the hotel because of hurricane warnings, things begin to build to an exciting end. The body of Mac, one of the restaurant employees, was discovered in the freezer, an attempt to push Callie off the roof, and a fast approaching hurricane as well as the involvement of the dog named Jake will keep the reader turning the pages. I thought the action was a little slow at first, but when the body is found and the suspicions are rampant among all the characters, I got interested and was surprised at how it all came out.
