Ulysses Grove, the FBI’s best profiler, has been on the Sun City Case for three years now without a break. When he passes out at the most recent crime scene, his superiors force him to take some vacation, sending him to Alaska to help give a profile of a 6,000-year-old mummy that is the apparent victim of a murder. When Grove sees the mummy positioned in exactly the same way as the Sun City victims, he realizes he’s just broken the case wide open and goes on the hunt for a modern-day serial killer who has roots in ancient evil. Little does he know that he is inextricably involved in a cycle of evil only he can break.

“Frozen (Pinnacle, $6.99) is the latest example of author Jay Bonansinga’s impressive range, depth, and audacity. When a frozen corpse apparently buried in Alaskan ice for 6000 years resembles the work of a present day serial killer, Bonansinga nimbly avoids all melodramatic traps and makes his two investigators—an ambitious journalist and a severely troubled FBI profiler—believable and moving human beings caught up in a strange adventure.”
