Inspector Henry Tibbett is taking a much-needed holiday from his job at Scotland Yard with his wife Emmy. Headed for a spot of skiing in the Italian Dolomites and some first-class people-watching, Tibbett's worries blissfully melt away.

That is, until a fellow guest who boards the ski lift alive at the top of the mountain is found dead when the lift touches bottom. Another dead body turns up, and then another, and it becomes clear that Murder has come to the mountain.

Inspector Tibbett finds himself drawn into the mystery, and he must piece together the clues to uncover the killer. In Dead Men Don't Ski, the serene slopes hide dangerous secrets, and Tibbett's deductive skills are put to the ultimate test as he navigates a tangled web of intrigue and peril.
