The Shockoe Slip Gang is back in a thrilling new adventure in the wintry wilds of Wyoming. When Sally and Andrew's mother takes a three-month job at a wildlife museum, they all settle at a ranch in the small town of Wilson in the shadow of the Grand Teton Mountains. As Sally and Andrew adapt to a new school and learn to cross-country ski, a sport that's second nature to all their classmates, they find that a priceless artifact - a pair of golden horseshoes - has been stolen from the town's historical society.
Donated by one of the town's earliest pioneers, the horseshoes are so much a part of the town's traditions, they're irreplaceable. The mystery deepens when small, less valuable, items go missing at their school in a town that rarely ever experiences a crime. Soon joined by their friend Henry, the Shockoe Slip Gang is determined to find the horseshoes. Chasing down leads on foot and on skis, they fend off wild animals and survive a blizzard. But their courage and ingenuity are severely tested when they must outwit a threatening character in Wyoming's back country who holds a surprising secret. Readers will not want to miss the Shockoe Slip Gang's latest adventure.
