The transfer drive for Uncle Titus acquired a Chysler across the Rocky Mountains ends for three ??? in the dense fog. More specifically, in a run-down and very lonely mountain hotel called "King of the Mountain". De facto seem the guys for years to be the first guests who may delight with its hospitality Fynch Hunterman very grumpy hotelier. It must at least Peter and Bob but once be convinced during the first detective already immediately suspects a secret and it literally burns a night in the strange flophouse spend.

It happens now and then, that the adaptation of the book has a little ahead, and despite the (necessary) Red pencil as round - if not round - running. The extremely narrow speakers list suggests it: It's already more towards psychological chamber drama a la "Three ???", which was implemented fairly consistently until the showdown. Therefore, the lost reviewer thumbs aims straight to the mountaintop.
