The Adventure of the Missing Partner: Another Adventure of Sherlock Holmes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987880692)

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have thrown themselves headlong into the swirling snowstorms and primeval forests of northern Minnesota in a singularly vexing case. The year is 1892 in the fledgling mining town of Gunflint City. Hardscrabble miners and well-monied speculators have joined forces to extract iron ore, preparing to send it to market on their new railroad line. Then disaster strikes: a founding partner has disappeared, threatening the collapse of the entire operation. By inference and deduction, Holmes suspects there is a cover-up. With his native cunning, by way of snowshoes and dogsled, the great detective strives to uncover a deep and tangled secret.
