A gripping psychological thriller with shocking twistsIn the bitter cold of a Canadian winter, seven university freshmen vanish without a trace. Soon afterwards, police discover a ghastly crime scene—the victim is frozen solid and his eyes are missing, replaced with black stones. A week later, they find a second frozen statue at an identical crime scene.Toronto PI Samantha McNamara suspects a … scene.
Toronto PI Samantha McNamara suspects a copycat is mimicking Incubus, the serial killer who brutally murdered her sister three years earlier. And when Incubus writes to her from a maximum-security prison, Sam is certain that the psychopath holds the key to saving the remaining students.
But as the hunt for the young men intensifies, Sam is unwittingly lured into a lethal trap, intricately planned to destroy her. Haunted by the signature white lily that Incubus tattooed on all of his victims, Sam grows obsessed with uncovering the meaning behind the flower. Her partner and fiancé, former police Inspector Reece Hash, watches helplessly as Sam rushes headlong into destruction. With time running out for his fiancée and the abducted students, Reece must unravel a psychopath’s twisted game. And do it before the serial killer poses his next work of art.
Five young men wait in terror. Which will be the next frozen statue?
What reviewers are saying about Frozen Statues, Perdition Games…
“Psychological thrillers are supposed to be compelling but the really good ones, like Frozen Statues, Perdition Games by L.E. Fraser, will really throw the reader for a loop.”—Marta Cheng, Self-Publishing Review
”Frozen Statues, Perdition Games is a masterpiece, an absorbing story that defines its place in the area of crime and psychological thrillers.”—Romuald Dzemo, Readers’ Favorite
“Fraser fuels the plot with increasingly sadistic secrets. Careful details about the murders, like the staging of victims during foul weather to ruin forensic evidence, are impressively geeky.”—Kirkus Reviews (featured in Kirkus Reviews Magazine)

somewhat confusing with flashbacks
It’s a page turner
I enjoyed all of the characters. They were believable and. Strong. I read the whole series
Definitely intriguing and entertaining, certainly unusual.
Fabulous
Wow my first read from this author and it was spell binding. I couldn’t put it down from the first page.
Good reading. I recommend
In an effort to build suspense, the author relies on implausible scenarios between the main character and her fiance, that are so repetitive as to be almost laughable. Characters are one dimensional or inconsistent. Storyline was OK but mostly predictable.
This book kept me interested and hard to put it down a good read
I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others
This was a different type of storyline.Keeps you turning the pages.To fine the answers
What a page turner
Great characters
Total plot twists
Unexpected villain
It was a good book kept you going to the end result surprising you
Kept me spellbound.
Too tragic and did not like the main character
I’m sorry, but it just didn’t hold my interest.
Pretty good, though a little far-fetched. I enjoyed the unusual aspects of the puzzlingly weird manifestations of the murderer’s “technique”. It was a fun rea, in all.
I would recommend the book. It’s scary, twisted, unreal reasoning on the part of the killer. Hopefully I can get the next one that follows it and maybe more of them.
Not my cup of tea. Too sick.
What an unexpected treasure- I wasn’t anticipating such a delightfully complex read. This read is truly a psychological mystery thriller and Ms. Fraser executes it perfectly! Her characters are very well developed and nothing is as it seems- I was expecting another rather “run-of-the-mill” serial killer novel and this is definitely not run-of-the-mill…really quite EXCELLENT!!
