About This Book
In the waiting room of the railway station a beautiful young woman was crying bitterly. Billy Magee took one look--and then entered into the most amazing, amusing, alarming swirl of mystery and adventure ever to befall a young man.Seven people hold what they believe is the only key to the closed-in-winter Baldpate Inn--all of them eventually after the same two hundred thousand dollars in the safe--all of them desperate. None of them reckoned with Billy Magee, a lovestruck romantic writer with method to his madness.
