D. Wingfield and produced & directed by Graeme Gould, this gripping detective drama introduces listeners to Detective Inspector Jack Frost—an untidy, overworked, and deeply human investigator navigating bureaucracy and limited resources during a harsh winter. The Plot: As winter grips a realistic British provincial town, Detective Inspector Jack Frost finds himself confronting multiple demanding investigations at once. A young woman has disappeared under suspicious circumstances, leaving search teams to comb the countryside before time runs out. At the same time, human remains connected to a decades-old disappearance emerge from the past, reopening questions that many believed would never be answered. What initially appear to be separate cases gradually develop into a series of challenging inquiries involving missing persons, buried secrets, and long-hidden truths. As pressure mounts from both superiors and the public, Frost must balance urgent contemporary investigations with mysteries stretching back more than a quarter of a century, relying on his extraordinary instinct and unwavering determination. 🎭 Star-Studded Cast & Production: Leslie Sands as Detective Inspector Jack Frost – The brilliant yet unconventional, untidy, and quietly intuitive central figure of the drama.
