About the Book

It's the early 1980s - Britain is in recession, the IRA is becoming increasingly active, and a case of rabies has just been reported in a neighbouring county. Detective Sergeant Jack Frost, now in his early forties, is working under his mentor and inspiration Detective Inspector Bert Williams. But when DI Williams fails to turn up for work, DS Frost is temporarily put in charge of a sensitive investigation into a missing twelve-year-old girl. Julie Hudson has recently been snatched by a man from a department store changing room. And to add to this a gang of youths is terrorising a housing estate, a baby is mauled in broad daylight, the body of a blind man is found in a canal, a sex game has gone fatally wrong - and there's still no sign of Bert Williams. As Frost moves from case to case, he seems to be the only person seriously trying to locate DI Williams. And then his boss's dead body is found, and things get a whole lot more complicated...

About the Author :
James Henry (Author) James Henry is the pen name for James Gurbutt, who has long been a fan of the original R. D. Wingfield Frost books and the subsequent TV series. He works in publishing, and enjoys windsurfing and long lunches. After a successful career writing for radio, R. D. Wingfield turned his attention to fiction, creating the character of Jack Frost. The series has been adapted for television as the perennially popular A Touch of Frost, starring David Jason. R. D. Wingfield died in 2007. David Jason (Reader) Sir David Jason was born in 1940 in North London. His acting career has been long and varied: from his theatre work in the West End to providing the voices of Mr Toad from The Wind in the Willows, Dangermouse and The BFG. From Open All Hours to The Darling Buds of May to his starring roles as Detective Inspector Frost in A Touch of Frost and, of course, Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in Only Fools and Horses. The 1996 Only Fools Christmas special 'Time on Our Hands' was seen live by 24.35 million viewers and to this day is the UK's most-watched comedy show of all time. David Jason is the author of three No.1 Sunday Times bestselling books: My Life; Only Fools & Stories and A Del of a Life.

Review :
One of the most successful ventriloquial acts in crime writing. I was delighted to read FIRST FROST. Not only a gripping mystery, but an exclusive look at Jack Frost's early years This is brilliant! A must for all fans of Frost, but also so much more. Gripping, finely written, it stands as a classic, period crime thriller in its own right Frost is back - this is a brilliant read, I can't recommend it highly enough This is great stuff. Just when you thought you'd seen the last of him, Jack Frost returns in a prequel to the series, which finds Frost in his best paisley tie tracking down a missing girl ...it's dark and satisfying and beautifully read by David Jason
