About This Book

A young detective and his companions investigate the theft of a prospector’s concealed pouch at a northern roadhouse, where suspicion falls on the keeper and several guests. They conduct covert surveillance, follow a midnight prowler through dense woods, and cooperate with a corporal who takes formal charge. Pursuits across river and tundra, examination of a locked money box and an old diary, and interviews with witnesses gradually reveal motives, a hidden treasure, and the perpetrator, allowing the group to piece together the clues and resolve the mystery.
