Although I found the cover to misleading, I was pleasantly surprised by this book's content. I had thought that all the danger and intrigue would occur in the snow-covered mountains. A death does occur there, but this in four years before the current story begins. Nicky Horn, the climber who survived the treacherous trek up the mountain, is being hunted by a paid assassin sent by the father of the dead hiker, Nicky's best friend, to avenge his son's death. A good Samaritan interrupts Horn's kidnapping, saving his life...but he has ulterior motives...
"Your perspective changes slightly as you get older. You accept that, like it or not, you're not going to be here forever, and all you can try to do is leave the place tidy and face whatever comes with courage and optimism."
"The law isn't the only arbiter of a man's actions. The first, the really important one, is his own conscience."
