Publisher's Synopsis
Donna Leigh is a menopausal former ad exec. When Donna is drawn into the friendship between her husband Jon and Swiss Olympic Gold Medalist, Dominique Gisin, she decides to explore her own Swiss ancestry. With the help of husband Jon and advice from Dominique they are able to discover an existing family with blood ties to Donna. And so, the adventure begins.
As they continue to learn about Donna's Swiss relatives, they are stunned by the fact that the family's 16-year old daughter is beginning to pursue a ski racing career after overcoming some overwhelming physical odds. This can be no coincidence. It is arranged that Dominique will do some preliminary work with this young girl to help determine the best course for her to pursue. After a few weeks of working together, Dominique suggests that the Leighs travel to Switzerland to meet their relatives and watch this young athlete as she progresses through these early career stages toward her goal. Shortly after arriving in Switzerland, there is a tragic accident on the slopes. Is it an accident or is it murder? Was the dead person the intended victim, or are some of the young racers at risk? Dominique and Donna team up to solve this puzzling and tragic event and restore tranquility to the majestic Mt. Titlis ski area in Engelberg. As they work to solve the mystery, Dominique shares many of the fascinating insider details of training to become a world class ski racer.
