Miss Irene Adler, the beautiful American opera singer who once outwitted Sherlock Holmes, is here given an unexpected talent: she is a superb detective, as Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker can attest. Even Holmes himself must admit--albeit grudgingly--that she acquits herself competently.

But in matters of the heart she encounters difficulty. The Crown Prince of Bohemia--tall, blonde, and handsome--proves to be a cad. Will dashing barrister Godfrey Norton be able to convince Irene that not all handsome men are cut from the same broadcloth?

Review:
"Enchanting. remarkable. keen. saucy. delicious. irresistible."

"Douglas has truly captured the Victorian age, with its chauvinism, its rigid morality, and its gas-lit opulence."

"Sherlockians will relish Carole Nelson Douglas's smart piece of detective work on--and by--THE woman."

"This is a can't-miss book for all admirers of Holmes and for all readers who enjoy superb plotting, writing, and detection. Absolutely wonderful.

Setting herself the task of creating a heroine worthy of Sherlock Holmes, Douglas succeeds smashingly. A truly original perspective of the one whom the great detective himself dubbed ''the woman.'' She''s a superior woman at that: readers will doff their deerstalkers.
