About the authors
V.M. (Jack) Frost was born in Stamford, Lincolnshire. Moving with his Air Force parents to the Mediterranean island of Malta in the 1960's, he remained there until 1975, when he returned to the UK to complete his education. Leaving school with negligible qualifications, he joined the British army where, after completing several operational tours, he left as a senior non-commissioned officer. Since then, among many occupations, he has worked as grill chef, baker, mechanic, and builder.
After a period working as a residential social worker with troubled adolescents, he became a police officer; firstly with Thames Valley Police, and then later the Metropolitan Police, where for the remainder of his 15 years service, he served on the front line carrying out both investigatory work and public order duties, including the quelling of the 2011 Tottenham riots.
Frost now lives in Malta once more, where along with writing, he works in the film industry.
"A Handful Of Frost," is his fourteenth book.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2014The only reason I bought this book was because the author works in the same place as I do. I had heard about this book from my colleagues and was curious to find out how good or bad it was.
I have to say that I was really surprised on how much I enjoyed it. It was a good page turner and if you want a book for the beach then look no further. I'm no literary expert so this review is based on whether I liked it or not and I liked it. The story line is pacey and no doubt it is based on the authors own experiences of growing up in Malta and being in the British Armed Services.
Will be reading his other books.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 October 2014I got this book after reading the first chapter and seeing the reviews, but I was disappointed.
Perhaps because I read 4 or 5 books a week (hard copy and Kindle), I expect too much from
a book, as I see I am in a minority of one at the moment!
I think this book needs editing. Often, one sentence ended and the next one continues without a
space - but you then realize you have skipped from Sean in England to the drug baron on Malta, etc.
Also, the dialogue often continued on the same line, so you had to read the paragraph twice to see
who was talking.
Sean, an ex-soldier, rushes to Malta to find out who killed his half brother - a boy he hasn't bothered
to keep in touch with for 20 years. He later follows the killer to Northern Cyprus.
There were Russian, German and Maltese "baddies" involved in the drug running, but I didn't think
any of the characters, including Sean, had any depth to them. Just as you were getting to know them,
the author moved on. Sometimes the Maltese guys appeared to be like "comic cut" characters rather
than the hardened criminals they were supposed to be.
Sorry, not for me and I couldn't recommend this book. I only gave it 3 stars because it was free.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2014I could not put this book down. Great carictors and fast moving plot. More, more please from this brilliant new writer.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2015Good read
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2014Brilliant piece of writing. It's not often that a book will have me both cry and desperate to get to the end so much so that I sneak a peek at the end pages!
Heartfelt story of a boy who experiences tragedies that no child should experience.
The character is written so well that your left with an overwhelming desire to protect him and make it all better.
Fast forward to his adulthood it's heartbreaking to see him torn with a broken promise and his efforts to rectify it with great difficulty.
I found myself talking to the character at different stages of the book, encouraging him, saying i felt bad for him but also asking what in gods name are you doing! Must have sounded mad to my partner who would look at me amused.
I read this is three days (would have taken less time it it weren't for the fact that my kids required feeding etc) as I could barely put it down.
Would recommend to others! Excited to read this authors next books!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2012Having heard the author's recent radio interview, I was curious to see just how good his book was. I was not disappointed! It's a rip-roaringly good read, a beautifully crafted and movingly written first novel. It emotively depicts one man's cathartic journey - a thrilling tale of romance, revenge and redemption - taking you with him every step of the way. With a spectacular denouement worthy of Hollywood, what more could you ask for? Miss this and you'll miss out!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2011This is a well written, exciting book well worth the read. The author has created believable, interesting characters for this fast paced, exciting story. It offers action, adventure, romance, ie, just what's needed for a good thriller. Having read the other reviews I understand this is Mr Frost's first book. Let's hope there are more in the pipeline.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2011Was concerned this may be a bit of a "blokes" book, but was wrong. Thrilling, fast paced story line with a bit of romance thrown in too! The author sets the scene well, clearly drawing on his own experiences of Malta and army life. Great main character and very satisfying conclusion.
Excellent debut, hope there are more to follow!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Keeper for general reading.
Good over all read will probably look for other books by the same author.
