　　Chapter 1 A Body
　　In January they found the girl’s body.
　　They found it in Pine Crest. Pine Crest is a small town about 90 miles from Denver, in the Rocky Mountains. In the past it was famous for silver and gold. But now it’s a place where people go on vacation; they ski there in the winter and walk in the mountains in the summer. Movie stars have homes there. It’s beautiful and it’s quiet when the snow falls. And the snow falls a lot in the winter. Pine Crest isn’t usually the kind of place you find a dead body. Denver’s the place for that, not Pine Crest.
　　Oh, of course sometimes there are skiing accidents, like in all ski resorts. I remember that a young man died about three years ago. He was skiing too fast and he went into a tree. It’s sad, but it happens. But murder – killing someone – well, that’s different.
　　So that January morning my boss, Leo Cohn, Chief of the Denver Police, called me into his office. ‘Girl’s body in Pine Crest, Flick,’ said Leo. Leo was thin and worked too much. He never sat down. Now, he was standing near his desk. ‘They found her yesterday.’
　　‘Oh?’ I said.
　　第1章尸体
　　一月，他们发现了女孩儿的尸体。
　　是在潘凯斯特发现的。潘凯斯特是个小镇，距丹佛约90 英里，位于落基山脉中。过去它因银矿和金矿而著名，现在是度假之地；人们冬天在那里滑雪，夏天在山间徒步。电影明星们在那儿也有房子。那里非常漂亮，冬天经常下雪，下雪时特别宁静。潘凯斯特通常不是那种你会发现尸体的地方。丹佛是，但潘凯斯特不是。
　　哦，当然有时候会发生滑雪事故，所有滑雪胜地都一样。我记得大概三年前，一名年轻男子在此遇难。他滑得太快，撞到了树上。这种事可悲，但会发生。但是谋杀——雇凶杀人——嗯，那就不一样了。
　　所以一月的那天早上，我的上司，丹佛警察局局长利奥?科恩，把我叫到了他办公室。“在潘凯斯特发现了一具女孩儿的尸体，弗利克，”利奥说。他身材瘦削，工作操劳。他从不坐着。这会儿，他就站在桌旁。“昨天发现的。”
　　“哦？”我说。
