Freeze Frame (The Enzo Files, 4)

"EXCELLENT... WITH ITS INTRICATE PLOT, COMPELLING CHARACTERS, AND BOMBSHELL DENOUEMENT, THIS UNSETTLING ENZO FILES INSTALLMENT IS A MUST-READ" --Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review




A crime scene frozen in time, a hostile local population, and a cryptic set of clues make this one of Enzo's most challenging cases.



Forensics expert Enzo Macleod travels to a tiny island off the coast of Brittany to honor a promise he made long ago to a dead man, to investigate his 20-year-old murder.



In a fascinating development, Enzo learns that the man's study--the scene of the crime--has been completely untouched ever since.

In the claustrophobic environment of the island's close-knit community, where the locals have no desire to see this painful case reopened, Macleod must try to find clues in plain sight that earlier investigators missed.




Complicating matters are the man's attractive widow, who yearns for closure, and a man who was accused and acquitted of having committed the crime--who still remains the best suspect.

Peter May was born and raised in Scotland. He was an award-winning journalist at the age of twenty-one and a published novelist at twenty-six. When his first book was adapted as a major drama series for the BBC, he quit journalism and, during the high-octane fifteen years that followed, became one of Scotland's most successful television dramatists. He created three prime-time drama series, presided over two of the highest-rated serials in his homeland as script editor and producer, and worked on more than 1,000 episodes of ratings-topping drama before deciding to leave television to return to his first love, writing novels.

He has won several literature awards in France; received several English-language awards, including the Barry Award for The Blackhouse, the first volume in his internationally bestselling Lewis Trilogy; and in 2014 he won the ITV Specsavers Crime Thriller Book Club Best Read of the Year award for Entry Island. Peter now lives in southwest France with his wife, writer Janice Hally.
