Maple Ridge...Unsolved: A Ski Lodge Cold Case
Sometimes, the ghosts of your past wear snow boots and carry a terrible secret.
Unsolved mystery podcasters, Patsy Steffanelli and her ex-CIA mama, Mattie McDonald, trade their podcast mics for skis. They head to Maple Ridge, Vermont, to investigate the New Year's Eve death of a maple syrup heir, found dead in a gondola almost a year ago.
The official ruling was a tragic heart attack, but when Patsy receives a frantic phone call from paramedic Dean “He-Who-Was-Dumped” Bradley, her detective’s gut lurches. And not just because she hasn’t spoken to her college ex-boyfriend in thirt…twenty…a few years (saved it). She should've known her ex would eventually lead her to a dead body.
A healthy young man locked inside a gondola from the outside doesn’t die of heart failure. Especially when the paramedic was pressured to look the other way. Now Dean believes it was murder. And he needs Patsy and Mattie to prove it.
Can the podcasters expose a killer before they're caught in a deadly avalanche of sticky secrets? Or will the truth stay buried under the pristine powder of Maple Ridge forever?
-----------------------------------
