In 1977 Moscow, 14 yr old Russian figure skating superstar Igor Marchenko defects to America. A few years later, he wins the gold for American. He then becomes a coach. He never returned to his homeland until at age 42 he's the coach of the U.S. Ladies' Silver Medalist, competing in the "U.S. vs. Russia: A Figure Skating Challenge" event.
On the first day of practice in Moscow Igor collapses and dies. 24/7 Sports Network researcher Rebecca "Bex" Levy agrees with officials MURDER ON ICE occurred. The evidence points towards Igor's long time American rival Gary Gold, coach of the challenger.
However, Bex thinks that is hometown judging so she makes inquiries of the Russian skating team and the facility management and staff. As Bex skates closer to the truth, she finds herself ON THIN ICE from an unknown assailant.
The third Bex Levy figure skating cozy is a terrific tale that highlights the changes since the late 1970s between Russian and American relations subtly displayed by two New York Times headlines (in the novel that is): 1977's "Defection" and 2005's "Murder".
The first showcases the glee and despair of the Cold War adversaries while the second represents the western media's present ability to investigate what happened to Igor. As the evidence piles up making Gary the golden suspect, only Bex has doubts as she looks at who else would have motive; anyone in the facility had means and opportunity. Fans will score Alina Adams with 9s and 10s for her superb figure skating murder mystery.
