A serial killer stalks the pavements of 1950s Boston - and two friends take it upon themselves to bring him down. Post-war Boston is down on its luck and looking for change. Per year following the Great Brink's Robbery - the major robbery in the annals of the United States - Boston is known more because of its seedy underbelly than because of its rich, historical past. The winter of 1951 is the most detrimental in recent recollection, and the Bruins are suffering another dropping season. Like Boston itself, lifelong residents Cal O'Brien and Dante Cooper are desperate for their identities after World Warfare II. Cal has built a mildly promising life for himself as a worker of a company providing private security, whether to an honorable businessman who needs a night watchman or even to an Irish mafioso who needs to have someone's legs broken. Dante is everything Cal is not. A heroin addict hoping and failing to stay clean, Dante seems the call to do good after he discovers that his sister-in-law was the latest victim of a serial killer focusing on disadvantaged women. Woefully unqualified, but driven to help, Cal and Dante take it upon themselves to keep track of the killer - but their daunting quest takes on dangerous consequences when the path leads these to the highest rates of city federal government. There are many well-placed men who don't want Cal and Dante to solve this case. An absorbing mixture of background and suspense, informed with a careful eye for aspect and figure, Serpents in the Freezing is a moving exploration about two men fighting for second chances.
