"All kinds of people, from shopkeepers to king, want the help of Sherlock Holmes in these six stories about the adventures of the famous detective. Who put a diamond in a chicken? Why is there a club for men with red hair? How did the man at the lake die? Can Sherlock Holmes solve the mysteries?"--Back cover
To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. In Sherlock Holmes' first short story, he must face his most wily adversary yet--Irene Adler, "The Woman." Contracted by a Bohemian king to retrieve a series of compromising photographs ahead of the royal wedding, Holmes is caught up in disguises, bluffs, marriages, double bluffs, smoke alarms and heartbreak. To this supposedly heartless detective, Irene Adler is in many ways the first and only love of Holmes' we see in the whole canon, and for this reason the story is unmissable.
