MOUNTAIN ICE...mountain murder! The Deans are troubled when Edith Shipton and her mute son, escaping Edith's abusive husband, register at their Ouray bed and breakfast. That's only the beginning! An ex-boyfriend shows up, followed by Edith's husband. Fearful Edith begins to adopt the persona of the mysterious nineteenth century woman being researched by Dean's stepfather Fred O'Connor and two eccentric genealogists. Everyone is concerned except Edith's husband. He's too busy making moves on Dean's wife, Cynthia, until his climbing rope is cut and he plunges to the bottom of the town's famous Ice Climbing Park. David is convinced that one of Bird Song's guests severed the line. Each had a strong reason. Was it wife Edith or her ex-boyfriend? Maybe the guilty party is the insomniac author, or one of the genealogist sisters, or one of the climbers in town for the annual Ice Climbing Festival. But the police have made up their minds. They're convinced the culprit was David or Cynthia Dean!
