Quicksand is defined as loose wet sand that yields easily to pressure and sucks in anything resting on or falling into it. Or a bad or dangerous situation which is hard to escape. Anyone might freeze like a deer in headlights, with a murderous person behind the wheel of a car bearing down on you. Living in the city, Detective Norm Strom learns how the quiet lakeside town he moved from has become the scene of a grisly murder. Even worse, Strom knew the victim and he works with one of the initial suspects, a fellow police officer. Quicksand is a story of love, betrayal and murder.
