It's early December and Andy Skyberg is itching to blow town for a weekend of holiday cheer with old friends-including a date with an attractive divorcée who thinks he's hot. But first, Aunt Bev needs a teensy bit of help. She's managing the Girls' Weekend Out event at the Beaver Tail Resort and could use some extra muscle. Andy figures he can spare a few hours before hitting the road. Mother Nature, though, has other plans. A giant blizzard makes an unexpected turn. Andy and his pooch King Harald find themselves snowbound-in a hotel full of hard-partying women, stranded travelers, a hockey team, a man-eating novelist, a belligerent blogger, and one violent, devious jewel thief. Before you know it, man and mutt are up to their noses in another case. It's a winter wonderland of fast-paced fun and merry madness, as the sleuthing duo dig out from King Harald's Snow Job.
