Bethany Lights was looking forward to her new life in Snow Falls, a tiny community in the depths of the Alaskan wilderness. Settling in to a life that was mundane was all she wanted for now but events would soon overtake her and her roommate Julie. When an opportunity to help renovate a ski resort comes up, Bethany and Julie jump at the chance to get to an even more remote spot, reachable only by snowmobile. Traveling with an irritable and cranky old man and his wife, the two friends arrive at the secluded spot to discover that it is far from what they had hoped for. Cold and dark, and perched on a lonely mountaintop, there’s not another living soul for miles around. Or is there? When their spare fuel for their snowmobile is stolen it’s worrying enough to imagine that an unknown person is lurking. But when a dead body literally falls out of the walk-in freezer it becomes apparent that something is terribly wrong. With a killer on the loose, no way of summoning help from the outside world and a storm rolling in, Bethany and her friends are about to find out that the wilds of Alaska aren’t the only dangers they face. Someone is out to kill them. Now, at the edge of her sanity and the edge of the world too, Bethany is going to need all her wits if she is to survive the coming hours and get off the mountain alive.
