INTRODUCTION
This is the history of a maladroit mystery
From the land of 10,000 flakes—
Belief dis-suspension enhances the tension
And raises the snowbound stakes;
Let it be said that the challenge ahead
Lies just beyond the pale—
To twist and embellish, with Coenesque relish,
A homespun murder tale.
So stomp through the snow in search of the dough,
A satchelful of glory—
And scavenge a scraper to solve the caper
THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
