Lost Pond
By Mark W. Holdren

New Adirondack Release from Powell Hill Press

November 3, 1928. . .The Canadian Flyer thunders north. But when the pride of the Adirondack Railway and Steamship Company arrives at Montreal’s Central Station shortly after 3 a.m. its lone passenger –his identity a closely guarded secret –has vanished. Days later the railroad’s imperious owner puts a pistol to his head and squeezes the trigger. The shocking suicide of Erik von Koenig and the disappearance of his vast fortune will remain a baffling mystery. . .until a century later when a zany band of North Country characters –led by a phantomlike Adirondack hermit –battle a disgraced U.S. senator and the Russian mob to save the Adirondack community of Lost Pond.
