Ten days to Christmas, and Tracey Uphill, aged eight, hasn't come home
from Sunday school. Her mother, a pretty young prostitute, is desperate.
Enter Detective Inspector Jack Frost, sloppy, scruffy and
insubordinate. To help him investigate the case of the missing child,
Frost has been assigned a new sidekick, the Chief Constable's nephew.
Fresh to provincial Denton in an oversmart suit, Detective Constable
Clive Barnard is an easy target for Frost's withering satire. Assisted
and annoyed by Barnard, Frost, complete with a store of tasteless
anecdotes to fit every occasion, proceeds with the investigation in
typically unorthodox style. After he's consulted a local witch, Dead
Man's Hollow yields up a skeleton. Frost finds himself drawn into an
unsolved crime from the past and risks not only his career, but also his
life...
Kommisarie Frost känns igen, fast han är lite fräckare i böckerna än i filmerna.
