I just came across the book _Physical Evidence_ (1990, Jove) by
Thomas T. Noguchi (yes, the medical examiner) and Arthur Lyons.
The back cover description is as follows:

   How much would you pay for a second chance at life?  The customers
   of Freeze Time--a clinic for cryonic suspension--are willing to
   pay $300,000 to be frozen and revived in the future.  Freeze Time's
   darkly charismatic leader, Jeremy Gabriel, runs his organization
   more like a cult than a medical center.  Now one man, Dr. Eric Parker,
   is about to discover the terrifying truth behind Freeze Time.  His
   trail of forensic investigation begins with an ordinary nursing
   home death...and ends in a nightmare confrontation as chilling as
   it is frighteningly possible.

Yech!  Sounds like it might have been inspired by real events (Dora
Kent), but twisted into a horror mystery.  Anybody read this book?
(Anybody thought it was libelous?)
