Best friends, a crafty killer, and an ice-cold mystery...

When Leia Peterson discovers a forgotten box filled with childhood wishes, she knows exactly how to honor her late friend's memory-by making one last wish come true. With her best friend, Kat, by her side (and their lucky tacky earrings for good measure), Leia trades her sensible Seattle life for a weekend at the Northern Magic Ice Festival, where a hotel carved entirely from ice promises the adventure of a lifetime.

But their whimsical winter getaway takes a sinister turn when the festival's star-the legendary "Ice King"-vanishes during the signature sculpting competition. Between suspicious "accidents" and sabotaged sculptures, it's clear someone's determined to keep the remaining ice artists from claiming the prize.

Armed with nothing but their wits and their warmest winter boots, Kat and Leia find themselves tracking a killer through snowy landscapes and frozen corridors. Their suspect list is as slippery as ice, and each new clue leads them deeper into the hotel's glittering maze. With the body count rising and time running out, these unlikely detectives are about to prove that best friends make the best crime-solving team.
