The Sleeper's Cache
Mycroft gives Holmes an urgent commission to find documents hidden by Oberstein, the spy arrested at the end of The Bruce Partington Plans although this commission arises out of a diplomatic deal over which Holmes has the gravest misgivings.
In a coup de maitre, Holmes finds the documents at the very last point in the time given to him by Mycroft but Mycroft is totally distracted when he delivers them.
Holmes instigates investigations of his own and uncovers a shocking scandal.
But will he be able to pursue his investigation to its natural conclusion or will realpolitik intervene?
A thought-provoking mixture of detection and morality.

Explains the lack of appearances of Mycroft Holmes in later canonical adventures. I enjoyed how this tale made Sherlock and Watson face the murky reality of political dealings. The sound effects added to the audiobook were a welcome addition as well.
I received a free copy of the audio edition in exchange for a review.
