AN UNWANTED GUEST
Book ID/图书代码： 12799119C00001
English Summary/英文概要： We can’t choose the strangers we meet.
As the guests arrive at beautiful, remote Mitchell’s Inn, they’re all looking forward to a relaxing weekend deep in the forest, miles from anywhere. They watch their fellow guests with interest, from a polite distance.
Usually we can avoid the people who make us nervous, make us afraid.
With a violent storm raging, the group finds itself completely cut off from the outside world. Nobody can get in – or out. And then the first body is found . . . and the horrifying truth comes to light. There’s a killer among them – and nowhere to run.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Catskills与Mitchell的客栈，隐匿于茂密的林荫之中，原是休闲与浪漫的理想居所。其宽敞的老式客房内，高大的燃木壁炉映衬着温馨的灯光，而酒窖中的佳酿更是琳琅满目。此外，这里还提供越野滑雪、雪鞋徒步等户外活动，以及一场扣人心弦的谋杀之谜游戏。
随着天气逐渐恶化，暴风雪阻断了电力与外界通讯，客人们只得在此安身，尽情享受这份难得的宁静。然而，不久后，一位客人意外身亡。当第二个、第三个客人接连遭遇不幸时，恐慌情绪开始在人群中蔓延。
在这被白雪覆盖的静谧之所，究竟是何方神圣，或是何物，正在悄然夺取客人们的性命? 他们只能蜷缩一隅，在风暴中苦苦挣扎——同时也期盼着彼此能平安度过此劫。
