Publisher's Synopsis
A ski accident...a dead entrepreneur...his grieving wife...and his friends dividing the spoils.
Lawson Adams flew off a cliff and plunged to his death on a ski trip in Whistler, a luxe resort nestled in the snowy peaks of British Columbia. The police called it an accident. Lawson was drinking heavily while entertaining clients the night before. But Lawson's wife, Jennelle, is convinced he was killed. After all, Lawson was an expert skier who glided effortlessly down double black diamond peaks after several beers.
Private Investigator, Fati Rizvi, arrives on the scene to find Jennelle's finger pointed firmly in one direction - Lawson's business partners. As Fati gets to know the three young men, she uncovers jealousy and resentment roiling beneath the friendly facade. Lawson was the moneymaker. He took the biggest cut of profits. And treated his partners like employees. Did they conspire to get rid of him? But Jennell herself isn't above suspicion. While building his business, Lawson spent long days away from his family. Did she hate him for it?
The answers hide behind the perfect veneer of friendships, family ties, and business relationships. A successful businessman, Lawson was surrounded by yes-people sporting fake smiles and hollow words of praise. Which one of the faces at the dinner table was plotting Lawson's demise?
