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?

Descriere
The classic first adventure of Mrs. Irene Adler--the beautiful American opera singer who is the only person to have ever bested Sherlock Holmes--is back in print. A "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year. Reissue.
Notă biografică
From USA Today bestseller Carole Nelson Douglas in fall, 2018, comes Absinthe Without Leave, the first book in a new Midnight Louie feline PI series readers requested. Douglas writes two Las Vegas-set series: the alphabetically titled 28 Midnight Louie feline PI mysteries partially narrated by a "Sam Spade with claws", and the Delilah Street Paranormal Investigator noir urban fantasies (werewolf mobsters and Silver Screen zombies) set in a paranormal Sin City. Absinthe Without Leave combines the two series. Douglas has also written science fiction thrillers and high fantasy, historical and contemporary romance.
She's the first woman author of a Sherlockian series and the first to use a female protagonist (Holmes' out-witter Irene Adler), with the New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. A four-time Romance Writers Rita Award finalist in four different categories, with RT Book Reviews Career Achievement awards in Suspense, Mystery, Versatility and as a Pioneer of Publishing, and the holder of many Catwriters' Association Muse Medallions in fiction, Carole rescues cats and works at home among mannequins in vintage dress. She does a wicked Marilyn Monroe impersonation (she edited a short story collection on the iconic star), but her literary muse is definitely feline: mysterious, playful, and packing sharp shivs in velvet gloves.
