A remote back-to-basics mountaintop retreat in the French Alps turns deadly as an Oxford fellow finds herself in the crosshairs of her late husbands dangerous secrets.The Chalet des Anglais should be the ideal locale for recently widowed Oxford don Emily to begin cutting through the fog of her grief. With no electricity, running water, or access by car, the rustic chalet nestled at the foot of the snow-topped Alps should afford Emily space to heal. Joining her will be a collection of friends from the university, as well as other fellows, graduates, and undergraduates.Something feels off, though, and heightens Emilys existing anxiety. Tension among the guests is palpable and as hostilities grow, Emily begins to wonder if the chalets dark history has cast a shadow over the retreat. When a student disappears after Emilys room is ransacked and someone tries to hack into her computer, Emily realizes that she had better separate friend from foe and real from imagined-or the next disappearance may be her own. . .
