Shadows on the Snow by Madge Swindells
The Winter Olympics are a prestigious display of glamour, courage and public splendour.

They are also, though discreetly, a huge merchandising operation involving talent, technique – and flesh and blood.

Megan Carroll is the ultimate agent to the sparkling stars, a whizz-kid who knows just what she wants. Nikki Petrov is exquisite and ice-cool, a Russian whose figure-skating audacity captivates audiences everywhere. Jacqui Douglas is a headstrong American downhill skier, whose recklessness is such that her racing seems like suicide postponed.

Megan can take them both to fame and fortune – at a price. But there is a dangerous distraction – an enigmatic Scots scriptwriter of magnetic personality. Megan cannot afford to get involved. But will she care, when the chips are down?
