Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose by Nancy Springer

In May of 1890, Enola Holmes is finally fully on her own and, no longer hiding
from her older brothers Sherlock and Mycroft, attending classes and
occasionally pursuing her chosen profession as a scientific perditorian, a
finder of lost things and people.
Wolcott Balestier, the representative of an American book publisher, arrived in
London on a singular mission - to contract with English authors for their latest
works. When Balestier disappears on the streets of London one day, his great
friend - Rudyard Kipling - bursts into Enola's office looking for help in finding
him. Brash and unwilling to hire a young woman, instead he turns to Sherlock
Holmes. Convinced that evil has befallen Balestier, at the hands of rival
American publishers who pirate the works of English authors, he sets the
elder Holmes on the trail. But Enola is not one to accept defeat, especially not
to her brother, and sets off on her own - determined to learn the truth behind
the disappearance of the young American. Can book publishing truly be so
ruthless and deadly or can the missing man be rescued from his apparent fate
and returned to his friends and loved ones?
The redoubtable is determined to do just that, even if it means working with
her brother Sherlock!
