Now it's time for Jane and Ivy to heal past wounds and catch up on old times. The perfect opportunity presents itself at a week at the off-season mountain lodge where Jane has scheduled a fiction writers' retreat. So much for best intentions. Ivy's brought Johnny, the new man in her life, who has eyes for one of Jane's students. The handsome lothario is also a man on the run, and the Mt. Munsee Lodge is his perfect hideaway. But what Johnny's running from is soon catching up with all of them—and with a blizzard leaving them snowbound, there's little chance for escape. Especially for Ivy. Jane's discovered her old pal dead—stabbed with an ice pick. As the melting ice gives way to startling clues, Jane and Winky's investigation leads them into Ivy's complicated past—and the deadly secrets of a writer who has the clever manipulations of the murder mystery down cold. . .
