Sue I had in mind at least two books: A Matter of Honor by Jeffrey Archer or Dark Star by Alan Furst, and, I'm sure there are others. But, let's move on to something different...

A book in which a wintry landscape is significant.
(Meant in a general way - that the season being winter is key to some memorable part of the action in the book, or that the author describes a wintry landscape as a memorable setting for some part of the book.)
