Return Trip: Murder, Madness, and a Mountain of Snow

Originally Aired: June 27, 1946 In Suspense #199, “Return Trip,” a snowbound bus becomes a rolling death trap when news spreads that a killer has escaped from a nearby asylum. As driver Frank Keniston guides his passengers through a growing blizzard—an anxious young woman, a chatty salesman, and a brooding Englishman—paranoia mounts with every mile. When an avalanche buries them alive, suspicion turns to violence, and one terrifying truth emerges: the killer may have been at the wheel all along. A tense, claustrophobic thriller that twists through the white silence toward a shocking confession.
