Thirteen-year-old Jeremy Hunt could be the future of figure skating. He's got a winning smile, flawless technique, and more talent than most skaters twice his age. So when his strangely protective father refuses to allow him to go to Nationals, and then vanishes with the boy, Bex knows there's a better story off the ice than on. She's slowly uncovering a sordid scandal when a past champion skater is found brutally murdered. And Bex realizes that not all competition stops when the judges put up their scores, and that someone out there would kill to get their hands on Jeremy for themselves...
