Overview: “The two figures stand at the top of the hill and survey the desolate winter landscape, still and silent under the full moon. In front of them is a smaller hill. The man they are trailing has just begun his descent towards the frozen lake less than a hundred yards beyond.
Nothing else is moving in this lonely place. The snow has just stopped, leaving a thin, pristine blanket as far as the eye can see; the wind is creating small flurries in the baleful light. Now the two men walk slowly down into the small depression between the hills, temporarily losing sight of their quarry. They become aware of a strange intermittent whistling sound which can be heard above the wind, interrupted by a sudden, hideous scream. As they crest the brow of the new hill, they are stunned to see the inert form of the man they have been following lying at the edge of the snow-covered lake. Their eyes scour the landscape, from the slope of the hill down to the distant clumps of lakeside trees dimly visible in both directions.
The only footprints that can be seen on land or lake are those forming a lone trail leading to the sprawling figure, evidently made by the victim himself; everywhere else there is powdery snow. They hasten down towards the lake, creating fresh tracks of their own. Reaching the body, they turn it over: the man has been stabbed through the heart. But there is no weapon to be seen, either on the surrounding ground or on the surface of the adjacent lake, where the flurries of snow are still dancing in the wind…”
