R.D. WINGFIELD: A TOUCH OF FROST AND OTHER THRILLERS: A BBC RADIO 4 DRAMA COLLECTION

FROST AT CHRISTMAS

Detective Inspector Jack Frost, assisted and annoyed by his new sidekick, is assigned to the disappearance of a missing child. In typically unorthodox style, and characteristic rashness, he launches into the case. But when they unearth an ancient skeleton and the fresh corpse of a bank employee turns up, Frost is also drawn into an unsolved bank robbery from an almost forgotten past. His method - to risk first his career, and then his life...

HARD FROST

DI Jack Frost was supposed to be on holiday, but with one child dead and another reported missing, Chief Superintendent Mullett had to recall his scruffiest, most irreverent officer to duty. Had the same person taken both boys? Was there any connection with the pervert who silently entered houses at night to stab babies in their cots? Questions, questions and more questions. And so very few answers...

A KILLING FROST

The discovery of two teenage girls' bodies and a video of a snuff movie leaves Detective Inspector Jack Frost in a race against time before the killer can strike again. Meanwhile, someone is poisoning foodstuffs at a local supermarket chain. When the owner receives threatening demands, it is up to Frost to catch the blackmailer. As Frost faces questions over the handling of the cases, he faces a threat to his professional life with the arrival of DCI Skinner. Is this the end for Jack Frost?

NIGHT FROST

A serial killer is terrorizing the senior citizens of Denton, and the local police are succumbing to a 'flu epidemic. In uncertain charge of the investigations is Detective Inspector Jack Frost, crumpled, slapdash, and foul-mouthed as ever. Trying to cope, despite inadequate backup, there is never enough time; the unsolved crimes pile up and the vicious killings go on.

A TOUCH OF FROST

Sleepy Denton has never known anything like the crime wave which now threatens to submerge it. DI Jack Frost is reeling under the strain, while his self-righteous colleagues would love to see him sacked. Frost manages to assure his superior that all is under control, and now he has only to convince himself.

WINTER FROST

Winter in Denton is a busy time for DI Jack Frost. A serial killer is murdering local prostitutes; an armed robbery; a ram raid at a jewellers and a buried skeleton is uncovered. But Frost's main concern is for the safety of a missing schoolgirl. The dead body of another little girl from the same school is found. . . Frost's prime suspect hangs himself in his cell, leaving a note blaming Frost for driving him to suicide. Coarse, insubordinate and fearless, DI Jack Frost is in serious trouble.
