A female hiker disappears in a snowstorm

As president of the Old Virginia Gun Club, Cassandra Key calls for a trustees’ meeting at the beautiful ski resort of Wintergreen, Virginia. Cassandra–a huge fan of outdoor sports–ignores a harsh weather forecast to undertake a solo hike across mountainous terrain. But then she disappears.

Wintergreen Fire & Rescue organizes a search mission, and many volunteers respond–including retired homicide detective Bill O’Shea. Despite herculean efforts, the search effort fails, and the next morning, a ski patroller finds Cassandra buried in snow. She is deceased–shot twice in the chest by a high-powered rifle.

The short-staffed Wintergreen Police Department asks Bill O’Shea to assist them with the investigation. After initial interviews, Bill has suspicions about several gun club trustees, including Cassandra’s ex-lover, the ex-lover’s fiancé, and an underling scheming for Cassandra’s job. But what Bill can’t sort out is how anyone shot Cassandra in the middle of a snowstorm from four hundred yards. Will Bill and his friends solve the mystery of a murder in white, or will a Wintergreen killer go free?
