Meredith & Hodge are stranded up a mountain with two dead bodies and a murderer on the loose, Christmas is put on hold until they can catch the killer.

John Meredith has been coerced into joining a group of friends, in a castle on top of a mountain, for the Christmas holiday. His irritation at being dragged away from home soon dissipates, as he relaxes in the picturesque surroundings, enjoying the company of good friends. Even the sudden snow storm is accepted without complaint; it will be a white Christmas. But then Patsy Hodge discovers a dead body in the salt box.

The murderer must be a member of the family who own the castle or one of the staff. No one can get into the castle or leave until they discover who that is.

The shock discovery of a second body reveals that either someone has keys to the castle, or an intruder is one step ahead of them. A trap is set to catch the killer before anyone else is murdered, but will it succeed?
