While taking a much needed vacation at an isolated hunting resort now very much snowed in, Richard Verner is asked to help find out who murdered one of the other guests. The victim was one of the military's best men in the field of submarine detection. Another guest is the General who asks Verner to lend his expertise, telling him that other ASW scientists in different parts of the world have also been murdered.
