Permafrost: A Novel: 1 (The Frost Trilogy, 1) - Softcover

"Peter Robertson's Permafrost is to picturesque northern Michigan what Harlan Coben's novels are to his beloved New Jersey. In fact, Coben fans will find kindred spirits--and page-turning suspense--in this smashing psychological thriller about a man troubled by secrets and a past he is trying to understand. Robertson's world is granular, vivid, and complex--his characters, filled with regret and menace, search for redemption in an entirely genuine and moving way. Robertson's lyrical prose hooked me by the third sentence--I turned the pages right into dawn where the sun was rising on the damage, with the hint of salvation--just maybe. The welcome beginning of a superbly smart and addictive series." --Doug Stanton, author, In Harm's Way and Horse Soldiers.

"Skillfully written and, ultimately, deeply satisfying." --Booklist

"Fine first novel . . . well-drawn characters and places a great music playlist . . . [for] mystery readers who enjoy Michael Connelly, John Harvey, and Reginald Hill." --Barb Macikas, Public Libraries Online

Two friends grew up together in Scotland. Now one is missing in Northern Michigan and the other, a successful businessman, has time on his hands. The hunt for the lost man begins as a mystery and evolves into an act of redemption.
