THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST REALITY SHOW.
A PRIZE WORTH KILLING FOR...
Frozen Out is set to be a TV sensation. On a small ship off the coast of Greenland, six contestants will push themselves to breaking point for a £100,000 prize. The show is Tori Matsuka's baby. After years working her way up the ladder, she's finally launching her own production company and everything is riding on the show. For camerawoman Dee, it's a chance to start again after the tragedy that tanked her undercover journalism career.
But as errors and mishaps mount on set, tempers among the cast and crew start to fray. And when one of the contestants is found dead, only Dee realises that the death wasn't natural - and from what she's seen from behind the camera, it won't be the last. As the Arctic ice closes in and all chance of escape is cut off, one thing becomes clear: although the world outside wants them dead, it's the secrets inside the ship that might cost them their lives...
Packed with suspense from the first page to the last, Freeze is a must-read for fans of Shiver, The Sanatorium and One By One. This thriller isn't just chilling: it's sub-zero.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
At the heart of this gripping locked-room thriller is a disconcertingly barren glacial landscape that’s as captivating as it is claustrophobic. Eight contestants set sail across Greenland to participate in a new reality TV game show, lured by the tantalising promise of a £100,000 prize. When one of the contestants is unexplainably found dead, the mutinous cast and bewildered production crew must confront a murderer lurking aboard the ship. Freeze is a stirring sub-zero whodunnit awash with paranoia, suspense, and lethal secrets that rivetingly unravel at a masterful pace. An impressively constructed narrative keeps readers guessing until the very end as Simants’ delightfully dizzying plot twists and turns its way to a fittingly chilling conclusion.
