Frozen Assets

A rare car. A frozen corpse. A secret worth a fortune.

Dr Jason Love is asked to travel to Pakistan to value an exceptionally rare Cord 812. Its owner wants to insure it for an astonishing £10 million. Love’s task is simple: find out why.

But high in the mountains of Afghanistan, Soviet troops have uncovered something far stranger: the perfectly preserved body of a seventeenth-century English merchant adventurer, frozen in the ice for more than three hundred years.

The dead man carried a secret pointing to a potentially vast deposit of rhodium, one of the world’s rarest and most valuable metals. Now intelligence agencies and ruthless opportunists are hunting for the same prize.

What begins as an insurance valuation plunges Love and his old acquaintance Richard Parkington into a deadly pursuit across Pakistan and Afghanistan, where a fortune is at stake and some will stop at nothing to possess it.

A fast-moving Jason Love thriller of Cold War espionage, historical mystery and high-stakes adventure.
