Summary:
"Beth Rivers is still in Alaska. The unidentified man who kidnapped her in her home of St. Louis hasn't been found yet, so she's not ready to go back. But as October comes to a close, Benedict is feeling more and more like her new home. Beth has managed to get back to writing, and she's enjoying these beautiful months between summer and winter in Alaska. Then, two mud-covered, silent girls appear, and a secret trapper's house is found in the woods. The biggest surprise, though, is a dead and frozen woman's body in the trapper's shed. Unable to escape her journalistic roots, Beth is determined to answer the questions that keep arising: Are the mysterious girls and the frozen body connected? And can she solve this mystery before the cold wind sweeping over the town and the townspeople descends for good"-- Provided by publisher.
