First Frost

The tantalizing prequel to the detective novels of the late R. D. Wingfield featuring Detective Jack Frost. “Frost is back—this is a brilliant read.” —Martina Cole, #1 bestselling author

In the tradition of Midsomer Murders, A Touch of Frost is one of England’s longest running series of all time, and the gruff, non-conformist cop Jack Frost is as much a part of England’s detective tradition as P. D. James’s Adam Dalgleish or Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse. Now, by special arrangement with R. D. Wingfield’s estate, this smashing new mystery has been written to give new life to this beloved policeman.

In James Henry’s First Frost, Detective Sergeant Jack Frost is dealing with the disappearance of his mentor. When a twelve-year-old girl goes missing from a department store changing room, Frost is put in charge of the case. Perfect for fans who have devoured A Touch of Frost on Netflix as well as for those who love police procedurals, readers everywhere will applaud the return of detective Jack Frost in this pitch-perfect mystery.

“The success of First Frost is incontestable. This is a palpable hit . . . A dark but glittering pearl.” —The Independent (UK)

“A very good job of producing a novel in Wingfield’s style . . . I felt like I’d made a return to an old—and loved—stamping ground . . . A very enjoyable outing with an old friend.” —Reviewing the Evidence
