The Frozen Dead: Now on Netflix, the Commandant Servaz series
Bernard Minier
Formats & Editions
Saint-Martin-de-Comminges is a small town nestled in the Pyrenees. The kind of place where nothing happens. Until the winter morning when a group of workers discover the headless body of a horse, hanging suspended from a frozen cliff. Toulouse city cop Commandant Servaz can't believe he's been told to investigate the death of an animal. But there's something disturbing about the crime he can't ignore.
Then DNA from one of the most notorious inmates of a nearby asylum is found on the horse's body... and a few days later the first murder takes place.
Madness and revenge are stirring in the snowbound valley, and Servaz must uncover the town's dark secret before the killer strikes again.

Praise for The Frozen Dead: Now on Netflix, the Commandant Servaz series
-
A publishing sensation in France, where it's rushed up the bestseller lists, this is Minier's first crime novel and this translation justifies its vast French reputation...With a villain possessing the intelligence of Thomas Harris's immortal Hannibal Lecter, this is great story-telling, with a creeping sense of dread that would not disgrace Stephen King at his best. - Daily MailRevenge is at the heart of this clever mystery, which involves a plot as cold-blooded as the slaying of the horse. - Sunday TimesThis densely written and very atmospheric thriller is Minier's first novel. It has been a bestseller in France and, in this well-translated English edition, deserves to be one here. - Literary ReviewAn enjoyable and fast-paced thriller. - Sunday Business PostChilling. - ElleThe writing is razor sharp and nothing goes to waste. Enough to make other authors jealous. - Femme ActuelleThe Frozen Dead is a boiling-hot success. - Le PointRemember the name Bernard Minier... he might well take his places among the masters of French thrillers. - Le Figaro
