Murder Without Icing

John Putnam Thatcher, a senior vice-president at Sloan Guaranty Trust, takes the bank's decision to back hockey broadcasts in stride. The New York Huskies have been a team no one expects anything from, so the sponsorship seems like a minor matter. Then the Huskies begin an unexpected run of victories, climb to the top of the standings, and set off a frenzy among fans. Thatcher might have overlooked the craze altogether, but two bodies surface in its wake, and he can no longer stay out of it.
