These cases are so cold they\u2019re truly frozen, hence the department\u2019s nickname and the book\u2019s title. But the team\u2019s real purpose is to send detectives back in time to solve crimes. An Italian scientist is behind the technicalities of it all, and the officers themselves have only a vague idea of how it works, but no matter. They\u2019ve now visited the past several times, at first leaving the COVID era to go back to just before the pandemic, and then visiting past decades.
