As they unearth a dark conspiracy involving the <strong>Society of St. Nicholas</strong>, Frost is forced to confront the corruption in his own aristocratic family's past and a tragedy twenty years in the making.</p><p></p><p><strong>The Frost Murders</strong> is the first investigation in the gripping <strong>Octavius Frost Mysteries</strong>, a planned 10-book series combining meticulous historical research with the atmospheric tension of classic Victorian crime fiction.</p>
