Miss Helma Zukas is reluctant to go hiking on the Cascade
mountains, but her friend Ruth is insistent. When she
agrees to go, Helma, ever the librarian, does her
research, reading up on survival techniques, packing like
a pro, and making up a list for her irresponsible friend.
As usual, Ruth comes unprepared, having neglected to read
Helma's list. But even Helma's careful preparation
couldn't have anticipated the discovery of a dead body
high in the rocky wilderness.
SURVIVING THE TRAIL
Since it appears unlikely that the hole in the hiker's
chest was caused by a fall, Helma suspects foul play. When
the victim is airlifted off the mountain, Ruth is ready to
accept a ride back to civilization, but Helma insists they
stay and search for the hiker's missing companion. Being
good samaritans is one thing, but getting stranded in a
blinding snowstorm is quite another. Especially when
escaping Nature's deadly fury means holing up in a little
cabin with some motley strangers who may be planning a
murderous adventure for a couple of dangerously
inquisitive women...HITTING THE BOOKS
