OVERVIEW
They’re ready to hit the slopes when things
go downhill…
Sean and Sara are
supposed to have a relaxing vacation in Vail, but it all goes up in a puff of
powder when there’s a suspicious death on the mountain. And the deceased is not
just anyone; it’s Adrian Blackwell, a two-time Olympic skiing gold medalist.
Rumor has it
Adrian died in a skiing accident, but he was too skilled for Sara to accept
that as fact. But she doesn’t want to disappoint Sean by ruining his ski trip,
even though she’s convinced Adrian was murdered and she’s itching to find the
killer.
Sean has never
been able to say no to Sara, but this time he plans to. However, all it takes
is a call from their PI firm back in Albany to change his mind. A job’s come in
to investigate Adrian’s death, and his agent is the one footing the bill,
leaving Sean with more questions than answers.
Yet one major
problem remains: their New York State PI licenses hold no legal authority in
Colorado. They still can’t help but look into Adrian’s death on the sly,
though. This case will definitely involve some underhanded tactics, all while
trying to dodge the local police over the course of the investigation.

IT’S ALL DOWNHILL FROM
HERE
THE SNOW-COVERED MOUNTAINSIDE was glistening in the setting sun outside the window. It
was so peaceful that it was hard to believe that a violent storm had passed
through three days before and dumped five feet of snow. Luckily for Sean and
Sara, all the runs had opened back up today.
They had gotten to Vail the previous
evening. It was Monday now, and they were inside the chalet settled onto a
couch and warming up next to the fireplace. Sara had her legs curled up beneath
her, and Sean had his extended and crossed at the ankles.
He was sitting there thinking about how
lovely the day had been. No murder. No mention of murder. Just him and Sara
relaxing. Although they had retired their Albany detective badges when he’d
inherited billions from Old Man Quinn, an elderly business tycoon, homicides
were never far away. One murder after another kept dropping into their laps,
starting on their honeymoon. They hadn’t been looking for cases to solve, but
after a year of it happening, they’d decided to make it official: they’d become
licensed PIs and opened a firm.
