In "The Ice Show Gang," a string of brazen bank heists leaves the police baffled—vaults breached and a watchman dead, all with no sign of entry. An insurance investigator takes a night watchman job to uncover the truth, stepping into a case where the crime scene itself seems to be hiding something far colder than the winter air. Art by Ramona Fradon brings sharp, noir-tinged detail to the mystery, while Win Mortimer’s cover captures the chilling tension of the ice show theme.
