Another Scandal in Bohemia

American diva Irene Adler, introduced in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story, “A Scandal in Bohemia” as the only woman to outwit Sherlock Holmes, returns for a rematch, not only with Holmes, but with Bohemia. The murder of a humble bead-girl at the Paris couturier House of Worth spirals into an international plot to reshape the map of Europe. Irene, drawn into the plight of Queen Clotilde, her successor in the King’s affections, finds much rotten in the state of Bohemia. As Irene and her dashing barrister husband, Godfrey Norton, and everyone’s favorite Victorian spinster, Nell Huxleigh, careen from Paris salons to Prague castles and graveyards, Holmes is just behind with an agenda of his own. Before the adventure ends, thrones will tremble, the mystical clay monster of Prague called the Golem will walk, and Irene will confront her deadliest opponent.
