The Case Book of Irene Adler: the Irene Adler Trilogy San Cassimally 2. izdevums

Irene Adler is always one step ahead of her opponents. When she ends up the target of the King of Bohemia, a paranoid former lover, she pulls off a most brilliant evasion. She assumes the false identity of ?Mrs. Hudson? and becomes the housekeeper of none other than the famed detective Sherlock Holmes. Unbeknownst to Holmes, Adler uses Number 221B Baker Street as her sanctuary, while she stealthily gives Holmes solutions to his cases and takes on missions of her own.

San Cassimally?s collection of short stories has Ms. Adler joining forces with a group of iconoclasts from all over Europe and America. Calling themselves ?The Club des As,? they set themselves the task of righting the world?s wrongs. Holmes takes a back seat in these tales, as Adler proves herself his equal in cleverness and observation. She and her club take on thieves, opportunists, racists, profiteering art dealers and auctioneers, and none other than the Moriarty Crime Syndicate.

These lighthearted mysteries will deliver the mental gymnastics and suspense that fans of the Sherlock Holmes tradition, and detective stories at large, have come to know and love.
