IRENE ADLER . . . She’s one of the most mysterious women in literature, an
American and the only woman to have outwitted the world's greatest consulting
detective, Sherlock Holmes.
ON FILM . . . You've seen Irene Adler as the fetchingly treacherous minx
paired with Robert Downey Jr.’s in his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes as an
action hero and human calculating machine.
You can see her as an apparently naked dominatrix in the BBC's modern take on
a young, totally wired Sherlock Holmes.
Or you can read about her further adventures after she bested Holmes in "A
Scandal in Bohemia," as written by New York Times Notable Book of the Year
author Carole Nelson Douglas, author of the acclaimed Good Night, Mr. Holmes
and seven other novels following the adventures of Irene Adler and Sherlock
Holmes after “Scandal.”
This novella, “The Private Wife of Sherlock Holmes,” reports the pair’s most
recent and intriguing encounter in post-Jack the Ripper London, from Baker
Street to a high society brothel. Shocking, my dear Holmes!
