Beschreibung

Buried treasure, buried lies, and snow that hides everything.

High in the Italian Dolomites, the war is over but its ghosts are not. Beneath the snow, a fortune in stolen Nazi gold waits to be found. To the isolated ski hut at Val di Fassa come five strangers, each with a reason for being there: a disgraced film producer and his cameraman, a beautiful countess with secrets of her own, a petty criminal who knows too much, and Neil Blair, a struggling screenwriter hired to watch and report.

As blizzards close the passes and nerves begin to fray, the fragile alliances between them splinter. What began as an opportunity becomes a trap and the mountain itself turns executioner.

Hammond Innes delivers pure suspense against a backdrop of ice and isolation. The Lonely Skier is a classic thriller about trust, betrayal and survival when the past refuses to stay buried.

'A superbly constructed and atmospheric thriller' Independent
