Christmas, 1669. In the grip of the coldest winter for years, the River Thames is frozen from bank to bank and London celebrates with a traditional frost fair held on its broad back. Revellers come from far and wide to enjoy the spectacle: an ox is roasted, booths set up and entertainers employed to amuse the crowds enjoying the holiday atmosphere. Among the throng is ambitious young architect Christopher Redmayne, escorting the daughter of one of his clients with whom he hopes to further a romantic attachment. By chance they meet Christopher's good friend, Constable Jonathan Bale. When a child slips on thin ice the pair make a chilling discovery of a frozen naked corpse embedded in the ice.

      Fans of the prolific Edward Marston (The Bawdy Basket, etc.) will welcome back architect Christopher Redmayne and constable Jonathan Bale in their fourth Restoration mystery, The Frost Fair. Since the chief suspect in the murder of an Italian fencing master found below the frozen Thames is Redmayne's own brother, the young architect has no choice but to try and prove the accused innocent.
