Items related to Hard Frost (Inspector Frost, #4)
Detective Inspector Jack Frost knelt down beside the tiny body. "Who did this to you sonny?", he asked, his face tight with compassion. "What dirty bastard did this?" The boy was eight years old, bound and gagged and stripped naked. He had been dead for some seven or eight hours. Frost should have been on holiday. He had sneaked back into the station late at night to help himself to some of Commander Mullet's cigarettes and this case had been dumped on him as no other officers were available. And then another boy is reported missing. The ransom demand: $250,000 or the boy dies like the first.

From the Publisher:
"Detective Inspector Jack Frost, Denton Division, is not beloved by his superiors. In fact, he's something of a pain in the brass: unkempt and unruly, with a taste for crude humor and a tendency to cut corners. They'd like nothing better than to bounce him from the department. The only problem is, Frost's the one D.I. who, by hook or by crook, always seems to find a way to get the job done. It's a high price to pay for a pak of smokes when Frost interrupts his vacation to filch some of Commander Mullett's cigarettes and finds himself pressed into emergency duty. Denton Division is shorthanded after a car crash involving several tipsy high-ranking cops, and on Guy Fawkes night there's more mischief abroad than just a few children making the rounds begging for pennies and lighting firecrackers. In the next few days, Frost will deal with a parade of miscreants, including a blackmailer, a shifty businessman, a not-so-greiving widow, a sexual pervert or two, a crazed housewife, and a cold-blooded kidnapper. The clock is ticking, and Frost is perilously short of clues...

"What impresses me most is the extraordinarily vivid interplay between the police characters. Frost himself is splendidly drawn." -- The Times, London.
