"Case-file for The White Wolf of Icicle Creek”

CURRENT ASSIGNMENT:
Head to the Icicle Creek Lodge, a small guest lodge deep in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada, and try to figure out why so many accidents have been happening there.

The woman who runs the Lodge, Chantal Moique, called me out of the blue, saying that Bet and Ed Rawley from Shadow Ranch had recommended me. 

She sounded so desperate that I couldn’t refuse. She said she was on her way to Edmonton to meet with her lawyers, so her handyman Ollie Randall, will pick me up at the airport.

She told me it’s been really cold and snowy there, and that I should pack accordingly, and then she said something about a wolf. The connection was getting really bad, and I could barely hear her, but I’m pretty sure she used the word “prowling” (or was it howling”?) along with “dangerous” and “be careful.” Accidents are one thing, but wild animals? I hope I know what I’m getting into…
