On the way, in worsening weather, she catches a news flash on the car radio about a brutal killing and this increases her determination to seek refuge in her remote childhood home.
On arrival Laura finds her cottage occupied by a man who claims to be a stranded  walker seeking shelter. Laura forgets her former problems when she realises she could be snowed in with a man she believes could be Julian North - the suspected wife killer. Constantly under threat, she soon begins to doubt her own sanity - how can she fall in Love with a murderer?
