But when an arrogant and despised guest, the influential critic Mr. Sterling, disappears from his second-story room''locked from the inside—their vacation is over.
Trapped by a raging blizzard that cuts all power and communication, the brothers find themselves in a pressure cooker of suspicion. The guests are lying. The staff are hiding something. And their own aunt and uncle are behaving like terrified strangers. The only clues are a hidden, antiquated dumbwaiter and a financial ledger filled with cryptic payments.
To solve this impossible mystery, John and Daniel must unravel a web of lies that stretches back fifteen years, to a tragic accident that was desperately covered up. They will discover that the quaint lodge harbors a terrible secret, and that some truths are worth killing for—and dying to protect.
