Journalist Maressa Burke is on a mission: to give the name back to a man in a cemetery known only as "unknown negro." The man died while riding the rails in the 1960s- - crushed under 5,000 pounds of ice in an ice car. Was it an accident? Was it murder? And who was this man, where was he going, and why? Working alongside THE BADASSES OF THE DNA DOE PROJECT, Marissa is going to figure it out. Along the way, she will reunite the man's family - -a family living in the same city with no idea of their connection to each other.
