Author: Bernard Minier
Title: The frozen dead
This fast paced French thriller has it all—-a decapitated horse hanging from a cable car, three men brutally murdered with similar modus operandi, and patients on the loose from a maximum security psychiatric hospital. Commandant Martin Servaz, a city cop from Toulouse, leads the investigation as past nefarious deeds in a small village in the French Pyrenees finally come to roost. This is a police procedural with some rather grisly details. Only recently translated into English from the French, this is Minier’s first novel and I can’t wait for more.
