    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

    • Revenge is at the heart of this clever mystery, which involves a plot as cold-blooded as the slaying of the horse. - Sunday Times

    • This 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 Review

    • An enjoyable and fast-paced thriller. - Sunday Business Post

    • Chilling. - Elle

    • The writing is razor sharp and nothing goes to waste. Enough to make other authors jealous. - Femme Actuelle

    • The Frozen Dead is a boiling-hot success. - Le Point

    • Remember the name Bernard Minier... he might well take his places among the masters of French thrillers. - Le Figaro
