From the Back Cover:
"Good Night, Mr. Holmes was an impressive enough performance to demand an encore. Introducing Irene Adler-- the only woman to dupe Sherlock Holmes-- as a detective in her own right, however, the earlier work was a hard act to follow. Happily, spirited opera star and amateur sleuth Irene is up to the task in this new yarn, a rollicking and complex story brimming with Victorian atmosphere and details."
--Publishers Weekly
Diva/detective Irene Adler and her bridegroom, handsome barrister Godfrey Norton, are honeymooning in Paris when they become embroiled in an investigation: a drowned sailor's body has been recovered from the Seine, and on his chest is a tattoo. A tattoo like one Irene once saw in London-- on another sailor's chest, while the corpse lay upon Bram Stoker's dining room table. This clue will lead Irene to the first beautiful blond American princess of Monaco, political and matrimonial treachery, and a sword duel as she and her new friend Sarah Bernhardt unravel the mystery-- with, of course, the help of Godfrey, Irene's faithful chronicler Miss Penelope Huxleigh, and Sherlock Holmes himself.
"Douglas dazzles us again with the continuing chronicles of the Great Detective's greatest rival.... Douglas's wonderful prose makes every word and phrase a sheer delight to read."
--Romantic Times (4 1/2 stars)

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1st edition, July 1991, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in near fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "Douglas's first novel, Good Night, Mr. Holmes , was an impressive enough performance to demand an encore. Introducing Irene Adler--the only woman to dupe Sherlock Holmes--as a detective in her own right, however, the earlier work was a hard act to follow. Happily, spirited opera star and amateur sleuth Irene is up to the task in this new yarn, a rollicking and complex story brimming with Victorian atmosphere and details. Accompanied by her new husband, Godfrey Norton, and her faithful, highly sensible friend Penelope Huxleigh, Irene is in Paris, delightedly reading her obituaries after her presumed death in a railway accident, when she becomes involved in the case of a corpse that washes up on the shore of the Seine. In a coincidence acceptable to fans of Victorian stories, the body is frightfully similar to one Irene had once encountered chez Bram Stoker--it even has the same tattoo and also lacks most of the second finger on one hand. Irene's investigation takes her and others, including Sarah Bernhardt and Holmes himself, to the woman who is to become the first American princess of Monaco. Douglas makes inspired use of proper and sedate parson's daughter Penelope to chronicle the tale's wild escapades." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Book. Seller Inventory # 002396
