During a blizzard, a New Mexico ranch hosts "a poisonous lady of the manor . . . a puritanical spinster, an alluring secretary, and a succession of violent deaths" (Kirkus Reviews).
While investigating a deadly automobile accident in New Mexico, Pat and Jean Abbott are trapped at the Ruby X Ranch by an unexpected snowstorm, along with the ranch owner and his family, the local sheriff, a pretty secretary, and a Navajo chauffeur. But not all of them will survive the night, and when the private investigator and his wife try to identify the killer in their midst, they find themselves frozen out . . .
