Chief Troubleshooter and Private Eye Mitch Carson had investigated many challenging assignments, but none as strange as this one. Before he learns that this assignment involves the oil pipeline in Alaska, he faces two attempts on his life. Then he discovers that the two mob bosses he pursued earlier and who had vowed to kill him are apparently involved in some aspect of the oil operation. When one of the oil company's officers turns out to be a lovely woman who hates to be confined by clothing, he embarks on a perilous adventure that leads him NORTH TO VALDEZ.
