Gumshoe was a game of hard-boiled detectives and deduction released by
Sleuth Publications. Gumshoe was based on their Sherlock Holmes
Consulting Detective series of games.

Someone recently contacted me about a Gumshoe expansion titled "The
Chinatown Caper." Has anyone ever run across this or any other Gumshoe
expansions? Thanks!

I had a chance yesterday to talk with a friend who did some work with
Sleuth. He confirmed that there was one Gumshoe supplement -- he thinks
it was probably "The Chinatown Caper". He also thinks he may have a
copy, someplace, though I doubt he would sell it.

I'm researching Sleuth Publications, Ross, in particular the Gumshoe game/series. My family has loved the entire Holmes/Gumshoe game system. Would you possibly be able to send me more information, even just a way to contact your friend who used to work for Sleuth Publications? My email is david...@comcast.net.

Thank you so much in advance!
