Vacationing in a five-star resort in the Rocky Mountains, film mogul Kenneth Edward Westland and his new, young wife, Delilah, find themselves trapped in the hotel after he becomes ill during a raging snowstorm. The resort, now abandoned for the winter, proves to be the last piece of the puzzle in a plot for Delilah to murder her husband to gain his fortune. 

But before he dies—anticipating his wife’s evil plans—Westland tells his wife that someone is coming to expose her evil deeds. When she is forced to take in several guests seeking refuge from the storm, she must figure out who the detective is.

Is it the sleazy salesman, the jealous writer, the plain-jane mistress, the small-town sheriff, or one of the others who might have crossed his path on that fateful day?

Story 3 in the “Tales of Suspense” Series

Lana LeFleur was the epitome of the movie star queens of the Golden Age of Cinema. Fawned over, catered to, adored and pampered she was the center of her own universe and demanded that that was also true of everyone in her orbit—especially her stand-in who lived continually in the shadow of her stardom. And also her beleaguered newlywed husband, who had sacrificed his writing career to give her the spotlight.

But for Lana, there would be a reckoning. When Cameron, the shy husband, and Audrey, the unassuming body double, begin to develop a relationship…only the cinema diva is in their way and then, perhaps, their lives in the shadows will come to an end.
