Dost plans to acquire the TV network, and the shareholders are anxious about the rich man's intentions. One of the bigwigs might even prefer murder to a takeover. Sure enough, the morning before negotiations would start, Dost is discovered dead outside his lodgesurrounded by forty feet of smooth, unbroken snowand Cobb is faced with the task of interrogating guests.
