Folks,
I think I missed the start of this conversation -
if you're talking to WOS, you probably have all the facts at your
disposal - another affiliated site is the TZX Vault http://tzxvault.retrogames.com/
which maintains an archive of Spectrum software (including the Lone Wolf
stuff), all with copyright clearance.

If you issue query
"Ice Halls of Terror"
including the quotes on Google, you get (only) this hit: <http://www.c64hq.com/interviews/hare_softography.html> which is the softography for a Jon Hare, who says he was involved in a lot of games, including Spectrum titles, one of which is "Lonewolf and the Ice Halls of Terror".
For the curious, I downloaded the zip file with John Hare's games, but no Ice Halls of Terror. :( It might be nice to locate and contact the guy to find out the story behind this and add an entry in the Books list.
