Overview

Susan Morris is reveling in the artificial cold of Ski Dubai, an indoor ski hill in the middle of the desert, with fellow ex-pat Pat Thornton when she sees the chairlift carrying Pat's husband detach from its cable and plummet to the ground. After an attempt is made on Barry Thornton's life while he's in hospital, Susan begins to suspect the chairlift crash was no accident. Then the Thorntons' home on the Palm Jumeirah is broken into and their Sri Lankan maid goes missing. Feeling the tell-tale prickling at the back of her neck, Susan is certain all these incidents are connected, but how? In this second book in the Deep Mysteries series, the innate drive to help others puts ex-nurse Susan Morris in precarious positions. Her very life is threatened as she pokes her nose into places it doesn't belong, all in an effort to help others.

Reviews

""Susan Morris is at it again - ignoring the dangers of snooping around the tony underworld of Dubai. In Anne O'Connell's gripping new novel DEEP FREEZE, Susan probes the injury of her friend Dr. Barry Thornton and stumbles on an evil cabal preying on domestic workers. Steeped in both cultural immersion and medical research, DEEP FREZZE is a gripping page-turner that builds to a crescendo of tension."" -Peter Moreira, author of The Haight Mysteries Series ""What happens on a ski hill in one of the hottest places on earth launches intrepid Susan Morris on a new - and potentially deadly - investigation. The Dubai ex-pat ultimately finds her way inside a hospital research lab where she uncovers illegal activity, cryogenics, and pure greed. All while her fifteen-year marriage is crumbling around her. Chillingly good."" -donalee Moulton, author Hung out to Die If you can't put Deep Freeze down once you start reading it, join the club. Anne Louise O'Connell's twisting and fast-paced plot and heart-thumping suspense will keep the reader up long after everyone else has gone to sleep. It's a masterpiece in criminal suspense, a who-done-it that will keep you guessing to the very end. If I had to describe it in one word, it would have to be ""riveting."" -Vernon Oickle, award-winning journalist and bestselling author of 39 books, including the Crow series
