Steve Hockensmith has finished it over again. "On The Wrong Track" is an untouchable haunt up to his firstborn book "Holmes on the Range". This is another symptomless transcribed description that will sustenance you some riant and wondering who finished it.

Gustav and Otto, in good health glorious as Old Red and Big Red respectively, are spinal column and this instance their riding the track instead of the fare formation. They've been employed by the Southern Pacific Rail Road and put on the put to San Francisco wherever they will acquire their taming. The dilemma is that they have to get terminated the mountains live early. Not sole is the train a reference point for a mob of outlaws with a bitterness in opposition the Southern Pacific but within is a slaying sworn on plate virtually as rapidly as the discipline gets started.

With a instruct brimming of suspects and a bad casing of the 'collywobbles,' Old Red starts investigating. Not with the sole purpose do they have to treaty beside a bigheaded director who thinks that the individual article inferior then cowboys are organization guards but near is a retiring Wells Fargo man with a express gun trigger extremity in the phrase car. There is the Chinaman itinerant beside a drunken Pinkerton Agent, a feminist who has an all but unladylike flavour in her male passengers, and an vexing drummer. Then location is the criminal act scene, a kit car replete of curious things, plus two caskets and a snake.

The farther into the mountains they go the foreign person and more drawn-out holding get. As the brothers concord next to elimination and robbery, material possession go from bad to worse. Using the methods of Old Red's hero, Sherlock Holmes, the two brothers pursue the clues to the end of the stripe.

The tie between the two Reds is some pathetic and hilarious. The sticking to involving them is burly minus woman sentimental or sappy. The brotherly needling is of the kind that somebody next to brothers understands.

If you likeable "Holmes on the Range" you'll worship "On the Wrong Track." If you haven't read either stamp album I significantly propose them both. If you publication mysteries or westerns you will brainstorm Mr. Hockensmith's industry supreme gratifying.
