Jack Frost, the British inspector detective who has endeared himself to countless television viewers, will now make new converts on tape. Thanks to Stephen Thorne, Frost emerges as even more disreputable and profane--as well as more human--than he was on the tube. And he's not the only one who comes alive on these tapes. Searching for a missing girl, Frost encounters one colorful character after another.

What an audio treat! J.C. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
