In # 16 of the series, the old detective, Raymond Masters, agrees to moderate a murder mystery contest among six would-be sleuths, each of whom, in real life, bears the name of a fictional detective - Sam Spade, Dick Tracy, Joe Mannix, Peter Gunn, Charlie Chan, Mike Hammer. Which of the surrogates will solve the case and claim 'Best Detective' for their famous namesake? The players gather in an isolated, mountainside, mansion in Alberta Canada. A blizzard comes up making outside contact impossible. One by one the contestants are murdered. Masters and his teen age friend, Airie, the great grandson of the aging Billionaire owner of the estate and sponsor of the game, take on the challenge of finding the killer (or is it killers?). There are secret passageways, hidden rooms, a dungeon, and an attic that has been locked for decades. Good conversation and lots of fun as the master detective works his magic for the 16th time.
