For Kit Powell, a reporter and part-time sportscaster at KSDG-TV in San Diego, the chance to cover the Pro-Am Invitational Figure Skating Championships couldn't have come at a better time. Not only will it give viewers a break from the usual reports of crime, recession, and natural disasters, but it also might take her mind off a dormant romance with police detective Nick Strummer.
Kit's hopes for an upbeat story start to fade when a volatile protest disrupts the event's opening ceremonies, and the next day, the coach of a top-level skater is found dead. Although the coach appears to be the victim of a botched robbery, Kit suspects otherwise after several skaters tell her they've found threats in their lockers - menacing notes and objects designed to make them think twice about competing.
Brushing off Nick's warning not to get involved, Kit uses her charm and investigative skill to dig for behind-the-scenes details on the skaters and their world - and finds herself on a trail of deception, prejudice, and greed that could lead to either the best or the last scoop of her life.
