Deep Freeze - Patricia Hall ... Bradfield. One of the few local clinics to offer abortions, it provokes strong reactions in the community. But when a young girl is gunned down as she walks out of the clinic, almost everyone is outraged. Who could do such a thing? Reporter Laura Ackroyd and her policeman boyfriend, DCI Michael Thackeray, are both soon immersed in the case. It quickly becomes clear that the maverick surgeon who runs the abortion unit, is not a popular man. - could the bullet have been intended for him?

Ackroyd and Thackeray are convinced that there is more to the case than meets the eye. And with very different attitudes towards the subject of abortion, it is not long before the issues raised threaten to destroy their own relationship.
