When evil is on the verge of triumph, one man will risk everything to reveal the truth, protect humanity, and deliver a megadose of karma. 

In The Frequency by Randall D. St. Claire, Bronx Rousselle owns and runs a pawnshop in Minnesota, living a life built on a past that he prefers to keep in the shadows. Bronx is also a fixer, and that specific skill fits him well on many levels. On one fateful winter night, Bronx finds himself knee-deep in a convoluted and complex caper that will change the course of both his life and his view of how far humans will go to harness and weaponize environmental power. And how far he is willing to go to stop it.

The Frequency is a hazardous story of discovery, hubris, determination, survival, fate, and the realization that trust and allies come in many unexpected forms. This story starts out as a discordant noir in Minnesota and systematically transitions into a glacial thriller in Greenland, all with a main male character blessed with witty sarcasm and dark humor, a strong supporting female character with plenty of grit mixed with conviction and fortitude, and a small wolf filled with tenacity and heroism. Unfortunately, an enemy from Texas continues to lurk and follow, methodically intent on destroying anyone who gets in his way, all in the name of avarice and ego. What is this enemy after? Why is Bronx traveling across snow and ice to find a stone whale? What does Nikola Tesla have to do with any of this? This story extracts and parcels out the answers quickly and with surgical precision. No stone is left unturned; no life is left unscathed.

“This was it. Where questions ended. Where answers began.”

A recurring theme throughout The Frequency is winter: freezing weather, arctic tundra, and cold-blooded murder, providing a backdrop of hardship and adversity, followed eventually by revival, resilience, and transformation. The protagonist’s arc is steep and fraught with peril, introspection, and expansion, allowing the reader to connect with and relate to his resulting enigmatic character development.

With The Frequency, Randall D. St. Claire masterfully delivers a one-two punch by creating both a mysterious and an historic narrative, complete with a skillfully crafted denouement and a knowing nod toward retribution and harmony.

The Frequency will no doubt resonate with readers who love a thrilling mystery led by a man who is exasperating, endearing, and audacious all the way to the last line of an excellent epilogue.

“Secrets were fine when they were about money or history. Not when they could crack the sky open.”
