      About This Book

      From staid Wall Street to the dazzle of the Olympic trials, there's nothing a banker doesn't get involved in -- including midair murder. Lake Placid becomes anything but for John Putnam Thatcher, banker-detective for Sloan Guaranty Trust, when a French skier is slammed to the snow by a sniper's bullet, and a check fraud scheme swindles half a million dollars from the Sloan's Olympics branch. Soon a blizzard, a sinister coach, and a growing scandal leave Thatcher on thin ice, chasing a lone murderer closing in for another kill.
