Summary

When Thomas Kanka returns home for a family meeting, he expects a discussion about his late father’s estate. Instead, his mother reveals the family cottage has been robbed, and among the missing items is his father's last manuscript. The family’s reaction is mixed: while his brother Steve and their father's agent, Dennis, see the theft as a potential marketing opportunity, Thomas suspects a deeper deception.
 
Amidst the snow-covered landscape of their past, Thomas and his mother wrestle with the manuscript's fate, caught between honoring a legacy and preserving family secrets.

    Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.
