4-6Western Mysteries series.
After The Case of the Deadly Desperados, twelve-year-old P.K. Pinkerton opens a detective agency in the untamed Nevada Territory of 1862. A client quickly appears: the young former slave Martha, who witnessed a murder and fears for her own life; P.K. must find the killer. The story unfolds quickly with numerous twists and turns propelled by cliffhangers at the end of each chapter.
