Publisher's Synopsis
Denton is having more than its fair share of crime this winter, and the unsolved crime figures are mounting. But Detective Inspector Jack Frost's main concern is the disappearance of eight-year-old Vicky Stuart, missing for nine weeks despite exhaustive enquiries. Now another little girl from the same school is reported missing. Her body is found raped and strangled. Frost's main suspect hangs himself in his cell, leaving a note blaming Frost for his suicide, and subsequent evidence points to the man's innocence. Coarse, insubordinate and fearless, DI Jack Frost is in serious trouble. "Frost is a splendid creation, a cross between Rumpole and Colombo." THE TIMES
