I bought this yesterday at the Grayslake (IL) Library used book sale for 50 cents.
c. 1994 -- 480 pages -- Paperback -- Irene Adler Adventures
Back Cover: Irene Adler (the only woman ever to have outwitted Sherlock Holmes), her dashing barrister husband Godfrey Norton and their companion, the indomitable Miss Nell Huxleigh, have come home to Paris, to rest and recuperate after their latest adventures. But rest is fleeting, for Irene is soon approached by a royal princess who is faced with a loveless husband -- and a puzzling dilemma that could destroy several European nations.
Irene is drawn by this puzzle, like some beautful fly to a deadly spider's web. For the husband in question is none other than the King of Bohemia -- the man whose advances Irene once spurned ... and who has sought her ever since. Irene decides she must accept this challenge, and the hunt is on.
But who is the hunted, and who the prize?

Going through my bookshelves to lower Mt. TBR. I don't think I'll ever get to read this book, although it looks good. I'm sending this to jimthomas in TX through Book Mooch. Sorry for the delay. I've been sick with the flu and couldn't drive on the medication.
