Ernie Cunningham, a teacher and crime fiction aficionado, is a reluctant guest at a family reunion held in a snowbound mountain retreat. Three years ago, Ern witnessed his brother, Michael, kill a man and immediately shopped him to the police. This was a betrayal no one in his well-known crime family could forgive and for the last few years Ernie has been shunned by his relatives.But now they are all gathered at the Sky Lodge Mountain Retreat to welcome Michael back into the fold after his release from prison.
However, on the eve of Michael's release, the body of a man is found frozen on the slopes. While most assume the man simply collapsed and died of hypothermia during the night, Ern and his step-sister Sofia spot a strange detail - the man's airways are clogged with ash. He appears to have died by fire . . . in a pristine snowfield . . . without a single burn mark on him.With the local police officer, PC Darius Crawford, soon overwhelmed by the death of the man no one can identify, Ernie begins his own investigation. Particularly when Sofia points out that the death has the same MO as The Black Tongue serial killer recently in the papers... It's up to Ern to discover whether one of his family is a serial killer, before his whole family end up dead...
