New York City
A Scotland Yard Inspector tries to resurrect his career by reopening the case that was his downfall years before, a kidnapping and possible murder in a remote English village. But Inspector Frost finds himself an unwelcome guest in the village, encountering suspicion and hostility as he doggedly investigates a new piece of evidence. Cat’s Cradle is not just a simple whodunit, but a complex mystery involving terrible secrets harbored by the villagers, and the struggle of a determined British cop to solve a cold case that has been his obsession and restore his own reputation and piece of mind.
