A young boy is found dead in a rubbish heap, suffocated and with one
finger cut off. Another boy is missing. A psychopath is stabbing babies
as they lie sleeping in their cots. A fifteen-year-old has been
abducted, then found naked by the roadside. The corpse of a petty
criminal is discovered, with the tops of three fingers chopped off. The
small children of a carpet fitter are murdered; his wife's body is found
on the railway line. A supermarket MD is sent a ransom demand for the
missing boy, accompanied by one of the child's fingers...Jack Frost,
scruffy and insubordinate, foul-mouthed and fearless, staggers from
crisis to crisis, his bumbling modus operandi disguising his
extraordinary powers of detection.
Frost jobbar över och klantar till det, men löser till sist sina fall som mer ärelystna personer tar äran av frost inte orkar med pappersjobbet.
