Winner of the American Mystery Award for Best Novel of Romantic Suspense, and the Romantic Times Award for Best Historical Mystery

Miss Irene Adler, the beautiful American opera singer who once outwitted Sherlock Holmes, is also 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?


Guy Ritchie is directing a new film for Warner Bros. based on the life of Sherlock Holmes, due out in the fall of 2009. Robert Downey Jr. is Holmes, Jude Law is his able sidekick Dr. Watson. Rachel McAdams portrays Irene Adler, a femme fatale who Holmes always considered to be "the woman"--and who outwitted Holmes when few could.

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.

"Setting herself the task of creating a heroine worthy of Sherlock Holmes, Douglas succeeds smashingly.

She's a superior woman at that: readers will doff their deerstalkers."--Publishers Weekly on Good Night, Mr. Holmes
