‘A funny, frantic, utterly refreshing brew’ – Sunday Telegraph

Detective Inspector Jack Frost, officially on duty, is nevertheless determined to sneak off to a colleague’s leaving party. But first the corpse of a well-known local junkie is found blocking the drain of a Denton public lavatory – and then the daughter of a wealthy businessman is reported missing.

And now a wave of crime threatens to submerge sleepy Denton.

A robbery occurs at the town’s notorious strip joint, the pampered son of a local MP is suspected of a hit-and-run offence and, to top it all, a multiple rapist is on the loose. But the manic Frost manages to assure his superior that all is under control.

Now he has only to convince himself…

‘Fast-paced and wryly amusing? A delight from start to finish’ – Val McDermid

Detective Inspector Jack Frost is having a hard time.

A young boy is found dead in a rubbish heap, suffocated and with one finger cut off. Another boy is missing. A psychopath is stabbing babies as they lie sleeping in their cots. A fifteen-year-old has been abducted, then found naked by the roadside. Frost is up to his neck in crime.

And the problems keep coming.

The corpse of a petty criminal is discovered, with the tops of three fingers chopped off. The small children of a carpet fitter are murdered; his wife’s body is found on the railway line. A supermarket MD is sent a ransom demand for the missing boy, accompanied by one of the child’s fingers…

Jack Frost, scruffy and insubordinate, foul-mouthed and fearless, staggers from crisis to crisis. But beneath his bumbling exterior lie extraordinary powers of detection?
