Gray Skies and Blue Ice (ePub)

A tragic mountaineering accident has occurred on Mt. Forbidden involving five climbers-four of whom were swept to their deaths in a deep crevasse high on the mountain. The fifth climber, the lone survivor Charlie, made it down to safety, but no one knew he had deliberately caused the accident. On his return to the mountain lodge below, Charlie came to realize his critical mistake, leaving behind a crucial piece of incriminating evidence at the site where the others met their brutal deaths. As the tragic events unfold, two of the deceased climbers' close friends, Elizabeth and Eric, decide to take on the arduous task of climbing Mt. Forbidden in order to reach the crevasse and bring a sense of closure surrounding the loss of their friends forever entombed in the blue ice. When Charlie learns of Eric and Elizabeth's intentions to climb to the site, he insists on going with them in a frantic effort to recover the evidence of his murderous deed. As the sky becomes gray and darkens, the climbers must confront an approaching storm looming on the mountain, as well as Elizabeth and Eric's growing apprehensions that their companion's intention for joining them may be dangerously riddled with lies and deceptions. While Charlie feels certain he can cover up his duplicitous actions, Mt. Forbidden deals him a fate he had not anticipated.
