February: Curious

Book 2 in the Tim Brown Mystery series.
 
In the second month of his year-long sabbatical in 1999, newspaper editor Tim Brown steps up his delving game, looking into mysteries both high and low.
Why is his aunt, the powerful politician, looking drawn and withdrawn? What happened on the walking trail and who was the disappearing man? How can Tim help a young reporter up his game?
   And, in all this, what would Sherlock do?
