May, 1982. Britain celebrates the sinking of the Belgrano, Jimmy Savile has the run of the airwaves and Denton Police Division welcomes its first black policeman, DC Waters -- recently relocated from Bethnal Green.
While the force is busy dealing with a spate of local burglaries, the body of fifteen-year-old Samantha Evans is discovered in woodland next to the nearby railway track. Then a fifteen-year-old boy is found dead on Denton's golf course, his organs removed. Detective Sergeant Jack Frost is sent to investigate -- a welcome distraction from troubles at home. And when the murdered boy's sister goes missing, Frost and Waters must work together to find her... before it's too late.
It's impossible, for me anyhow, to read this & not visualise & "hear" the characters from the TV series "A Touch of Frost". Henry has the tone & feel of Wingfield's Frost down to a tee. Here we have a stereo typical 1980's police force, very un-PC, both sexist & racist but in keeping with the period. How times have (thankfully) changed....
