Rachel and her friend Elena skied Bear Valley's black diamond Vortex run at Grizzly Bowl when a snowboarder came from the next trail over and hit Rachel with a pipe. The ski patrol arrived and had her helicoptered to the hospital in San Andreas, where she died from complications caused by the blow to her head. Elena called her friend Ken, and the two of them decided to investigate the four possible subjects. Her ex-husband was paying $2,000 a month in alimony. His trophy wife was a championship snowboarder. A former colleague was pursuing Rachel, and he had a history of violence with women who rejected him. Unbeknownst to Rachel, a crime syndicate was laundering money through the restaurant where she was the part-time bookkeeper. By accident, she saw the actual ledgers for the restaurant, and the IRS wanted to talk to her. Did someone in the crime organization want Rachel eliminated, or was it the ex-husband, his wife, or the rebuffed teacher?
