โฆ Synopsis
Beth Rivers is still in Alaska. The unidentified man who kidnapped her in her home of St. Louis hasnโt been found yet, so sheโs not ready to go back.
But as October comes to a close, Benedict is feeling more and more like her new home. Beth has been working on herself: Sheโs managed to get back to writing, and sheโs enjoying these beautiful months between summer and winter in Alaska.
Then, everything in Benedict changes after a mudslide exposes a world that had been hidden for years. Two mud-covered, silent girls appear, and a secret trapperโs house is found in the woods. The biggest surprise, though, is a dead and frozen womanโs body in the trapperโs shed. No one knows who she is, but the man who runs the mercantile, Randy, seems to be in the middle of all the mysteries.
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? Can Randy possibly be involved? Andโmost importantlyโcan she solve this mystery before the cold wind sweeping over the town and the townspeople descends for good?
