Snowfire

A chilling tale of murder and secrets set against the treacherous slopes of a ski lodge—from “the queen of the American gothics” (The New York Times).

Linda Earle’s stepbrother had a bright future. An aspiring athlete, he was being mentored by championship skier Julian McCabe, but then his career was cut short when he was accused of murdering Julian’s wife, Margot. Convinced of his innocence and determined to clear his name, Linda takes a job as après-ski hostess at the McCabe’s Pocono lodge, nestled in the shadow of their imposing estate.

Once Linda insinuates herself into the guarded family, she discovers that everyone behind the walls of Greystones mansion had a reason to murder the much-hated Margot, including her disturbed daughter, her malicious and jealous sister-in-law, even the brooding and handsome Julian, with whom Linda is falling dangerously in love. But with a mysterious killer in a house of secrets, Linda has reason to fear that anyone—including herself—could be the next victim.

Born in Yokohama, Japan, on September 9, 1903, Phyllis A. Whitney was a prolific author of award-winning adult and children’s fiction. Her sixty-year writing career and the publication of seventy-six books, which together sold over fifty million copies worldwide, established her as one of the most successful mystery and romantic suspense writers of the twentieth century and earned her the title “The Queen of the American Gothics.”

Whitney resided in several places, including New Jersey. She traveled to every location mentioned in her books in order to better depict the settings of her stories. She earned the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master award in 1988, the Agatha in 1990, and the lifetime achievement award from the Society of Midland Authors in 1995. Whitney was working on her autobiography at the time of her passing at the age of 104.
