Crossed Skis

The British Library
A republished mystery with a travel-themed twist, from the golden age of British crime-writing. A pitiless murder in Bloomsbury and an unrecognisable victim poses a grim mystery for Inspector Brook of Scotland Yard; just one clue seems to offer a lead and suggests a skier may have been involved… Meanwhile, eight couples are enjoying the sun and snow of the slopes in the Austrian Alps on a fun-filled ski holiday. But as Scotland Yard seeks to crack the case the holiday party finds that it may have an unwelcome guest amongst its number and the 16 holidaymakers become 16 suspects. An Alpine mystery from 1952 by Carol Carnac; the pen name of the prolific crime writer Edith Caroline Rivett (1894-1958), who also wrote as E.C.R. Lorac.
