Unfinished Business:
Pursuit of an Antarctic Killer

Book II in the Antarctic Murders Trilogy

Unfinished Business picks up the story begun in Book I with the return of the crate containing Señora Rodriguez' refrigerator from Antarctica to Arica aboard Corvette Captain Roberto Muñoz' ship, the Lientur. What makes Señora Rodriguez' refrigerator so special is that, unbeknownst to her, it holds the spoils from a major bank robbery in Talcahuano, Chile, which occurred in the aftermath of the Great Chilean Earthquake of May 22, 1960. But in addition to Señora Rodríguez' husband, the two men who committed the robbery, Chief Warrant Officer Raul Lucero and Chief Petty Officer Eduardo Bellolio, and the officer who was trailing them, Lieutenant Barbudo, are dead.

Now, the two Navy non-commissioned officers from Santiago who secretly played a part in tipping off Lucero and Bellolio to the fact that Commander Barbudo was closing in on them have travelled to Arica to obtain the release of the refrigerator from the Fleet Warehouse. It is their intent to steal the loot before they deliver the appliance to Señora Rodríguez. In the process, something goes terribly wrong.

Unfinished Business, like Frozen in Time, is a work of fiction based on real events that took place between 1960 and 1965. It is a tale of greed, betrayal, danger and murder-one in which the reader is given a window into the frozen world at the bottom of the Earth that few people will ever read about, much less experience. It explores why, though seemingly unfair, bad things happen to good people; how the battle between good and evil can change forever even the most innocent person; and most of all, the role deception plays in Nature, Man, and Life.
