Ballantine, New York, 1995, 2^nd pr.  ISBN 0-345-39019-9.  MMPB, 313 pages.  Unread copy with some edge and cover wear; abrasion and ghost from sticker removal.  ‘Yet the mellow autumn air is tension-filled with the presence of A. C.’s beautiful second wife, the constrained animosities of his two older sons, and the tippling of his flower-child daughter-in-law.  But it is the unwelcome arrival of youngest son Lucas, with a ravishing black fiancée in tow, that is the true kiss of death. … As a blizzard seals their isolation, Conan attempts to identify the murderer among them before he or she strikes again…’ (from rear wrap)
