Review:
Enjoy a rip-roaring cowboy adventure and laugh-out-loud mystery, with brothers Gustav and Otto Amlingmeyer (better known as Old Red and Big Red). During an 1892 cattle drive, Old Red becomes besotted with Sherlock Holmes when his brother reads "The Red-Headed League." Determined to follow in his hero's footsteps, Old Red gets the chance to utilize the master's techniques when an unsavory foreman hires the pair to work at a Montana cattle spread, where the ranch’s general manager is soon found dead -- “not only had a few hundred cows gone for a waltz over the body, prairie wolves had snacked on whatever hadn’t stuck to the hooves. The remaining dribs and drabs of gristle were mixed in with the mud like strips of undercooked beef in a bowl of Texas chili.” With characters named Tall John, Swivel-Eye, Crazymouth Nick and Hungry Bob, author Steve Hockensmith helps you hit the mystery trail. The sequel is already completed and ready for publication.
