WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY STELLA RIMINGTONIt lies somewhere beneath the snow, high in the Dolomites: Nazi gold, tainted with the blood of murdered men. A tense battle of wits leads to an explosive finale in Innes’ classic tale of revenge and deadly greed. Buried treasure, buried lies, and snow that hides everything. High in the Italian Dolomites, the war is over but its ghosts are not. Beneath the snow, a fortune in stolen Nazi gold waits to be found. To the isolated ski hut at Val di Fassa come five strangers, each with a reason for being there: a disgraced film producer and his cameraman, a beautiful countess with secrets of her own, a petty criminal who knows too much, and Neil Blair, a struggling screenwriter hired to watch and report. As blizzards close the passes and nerves begin to fray, the fragile alliances between them splinter. What began as an opportunity becomes a trap and the mountain itself turns executioner. Hammond Innes delivers pure suspense against a backdrop of ice and isolation. The Lonely Skier is a classic thriller about trust, betrayal and survival when the past refuses to stay buried. ‘A superbly constructed and atmospheric thriller’ Independent
