YASherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins series.
This third volume in Lane's Holmes series opens with a classic locked-room mystery (spoiler: a knife made of ice is involved) but eventually lands in Moscow as the young Sherlock finds himself a part of the Great Game. While the plot is overcomplicated (but action-packed) and the writing sometimes expository, fans of the series shouldn't hesitate.
