SYNOPSIS

<P>Somebody is killing people who work for subsidiaries of conglomerate
<BR> Ault Enterprises and playing some kind of game while doing it. Carol
<BR> Golden is called on to help identify the killer because she has
<BR> experience in breaking codes and playing games. Amy O’Connor, a
<BR> former scam artist and long-distance hiker with an eye for men,
<BR> becomes her partner by accident, and together they search for clues
<BR> in interesting places. The hunt takes them to the tops of significant
<BR> mountain peaks in the United States, including Mount Whitney, the
<BR> highest peak in the continental U.S., and to other unusual locales
<BR> such as the thinly populated Lost Coast region of northern
<BR> California. Carol finds that incidents in her past that are lost
<BR> to her because of her amnesia may come back to haunt her before
<BR> she can win this deadly game.
