The Adventure of the Missing Partner: Another Sherlock Holmes Adventure

The great detective thrills and beguiles in one of his greatest adventures…
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.

James Borden, son of a newspaper columnist and copy editor, inherited a love of written and spoken language. By high school age, he was writing short stories. Studying classical music in college gave him a solid foundation for a career as a musician and booking agent. During his working years, while refining his technique in fiction via classes and seminars, James was first published and eventually became an administrator for a creative writing group at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis.
