One of the twentieth century's most controversial and remarkable cultural figures, Ada Geiger was the only person, living or dead, who had been a colleague of both Amelia Earhart and the Rolling Stones. She was also one of Mitch Berger's idols, so he was thrilled to participate in an event planned for Ada's return to little Dorset, Connecticut - until the guests began to get killed off, one by one.

From the Back Cover:
YOU’RE INVITED TO THE LAST PARTY
Everyone from Hollywood heavy hitters and supermodels to rap music stars and high-profile athletes are invited to a party to honor legendary film director Ada Geiger at the faux Castle her husband built for her in Dorset, Connecticut. This is just the kind of event Mitch Berger hates even though he idolizes Ada and credits her for inspiring him to become a film critic. It’s too late for him to cancel. But Mitch gets a lucky break when a snowstorm hits.
OF YOUR LIFE...
One by one, the regrets come flowing in. The gathering is pared down to just a few people: Ada’s son and his wife up from New York, the Castle’s caretaker and her brother Les, Mitch and his beautiful police officer lover, Des Mitry, and a few others. It’s the snowiest winter anyone under the age of ninety can remember in Dorset with six more inches falling every three days, stranding the guests at the Castle. But any romantic notions that may have crossed Mitch’s mind are dashed when one by one the people at The Castle are killed off. Delving into the investigation, Des and Mitch are faced with their toughest case yet—one that might leave both of them dead...
“A fabulous mystery.”
--Midwest Book Review
"Plenty of action, more than a few false clues, and a bang-up ending."
