Kashmir, 1947. Sarah Parrish joins the final winter gathering of the Ski Club of India at Gulmarg as British rule approaches its end. A skier's fatal fall is followed by warnings from Janet Rushton, who reveals that the dead woman was connected to intelligence work and that sensitive information is still hidden.
When Janet also dies, Sarah follows a trail of coded messages to a houseboat on the Kashmir lakes. Captain Charles Mallory may be able to help her, but the enemy agent searching for the papers is concealed within the remaining British community. The novel was originally published as Death Walked in Kashmir.
