Sam Spade with a typewriter.

Writer Mallory's mystery weekend turns out to be a bit more of a challenge than he'd expected. He thinks he'll participate in a weekend of fun and mystery games. On the first night, however, Mallory is gazing out the window and sees a brutal murder. He raises the alarm but the body can't be found! The game goes on as planned, with everyone thinking that what Mallory saw was part of the game. Mallory isn't convinced, though, and he soon finds proof that what he saw was real. A blizzard hits and players and guests are trapped in at Mohonk Mountain House. With a killer? It would seem so!This is an imaginative story full of suspense and twists. Hero Mallory is Sam Spade with a typewriter.
