When do a retired Omaha ad agency owner and a Swiss Olympic Downhill Gold Medalist team up to solve a perplexing conundrum, and one that involves a mysterious death at a Swiss ski resort? 

When it’s the infamous amateur sleuth Donna Leigh and her friend and Olympic Gold Medalist, Dominique Gisin. 

Donna Leigh and her husband strike up an online friendship with Dominique which leads to a deep exploration of Donna’s Swiss roots. This search leads them to a young Olympic hopeful and an inevitable trip to Switzerland that immerses them in the world of ski racing. 

Shortly after arriving in Switzerland, a tragedy occurs on Mt. Titlis and Donna and Dominique are there as witnesses when a death with heavy ties to the U.S. occurs. 

It only makes sense that the pair team up with Donna’s sleuthing experience and knowledge of investigating in the U.S. and Dominique’s in-depth knowledge of everything Swiss and skiing. Working with some polizei and a few U.S. friends as resources, Dominique and Donna follow a trail of intrigue and even danger through the Alps and simultaneously through the U.S. 

Their search for clues combined with Dominique’s work in training the young racing hopeful will have you on the edge of your seat, when you’re not laughing uproariously at the antics of the Americans as they make their way through the Alps.
