Freeze Frame: A Novel

Summary

Bob Christopher is Los Angeles’ Channel Three television-newsaction reporter. His beat is the little people—the ones who get pushed around,find themselves in god-awful messes, and produce “human interest” for theinsatiable maw of television.

But this story was different from the first, when a tiny oldlady told Christopher about the bulldozers that had leveled her home withoutreason or warning. That was ugly enough. What happened to the old lady a littlewhile later was even nastier. And suddenly Bob isn’t dealing with the littlepeople any more. He finds himself in deep with big-time politics, a giant oilcorporation, a group of wild American Indians, and a high-priced hooker—all outto make him a corpse before he can report the news.
