Book Description
A thrilling chase as Sherlock Holmes is set a fiendish puzzle by Irene Adler over a snowy London Christmas, in this stunningly packaged mystery. Sherlock Holmes’s discovery of a mysterious musical score initiates a devious Christmas challenge set by Irene Adler, with clues that are all variations on the theme of ‘theft without theft', such as a statue missing from a museum found hidden in the room it was taken from. In the snowy London lead-up to Christmas, Holmes’s preoccupation with the "Adler Variations" risks him neglecting the case of his new client, Norwegian arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who has received a series of threats in the form of animal carcasses left on his doorstep. Could they really be gifts from a strange spirit that has pursued Nansen since the completion of his expedition to cross Greenland? And might this case somehow be related to Irene Adler’s great game?

Book Description
In 1893, midway through his career as creator of master detective Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle decided to end the Holmes series by killing off his hero in one last story. That much is fact. But wait. Kill off Holmes? That would be murder. A crime. Doesn't Holmes fight crime? Yes, in his own world. And so, Full Circle. Holmes and Watson, his friend and chronicler, find themselves mysteriously drawn to an unfamiliar London home, where a séance is in progress, and at once come up against a challenge unlike anything England’s foremost detective has ever encountered. It appears that the man of the house—a physician named A. C. Doyle—is plotting a heinous murder, working out its details in writing, but leaving the intended victim’s name unspecified. Could Dr. Doyle be plotting the demise of his ailing and unsuspecting wife, with whom he will soon be travelling to the area where the murder is to take place? Could the victim be some other adversary of the doctor? Further complicating Holmes’s investigation is the discovery that the plot they’ve uncovered has been written out in Watson’s own hand, perfectly mimicking his narrative style and voice. Then there’s the exact duplicate of Watson’s cane, leaning against the wall, and the presence here of Holmes’s violin, with its unique markings and imperfections, plus a host of other impossible coincidences. Something baffling is going on, something very wrong. As the unfathomable aspects of the case start to mount, Holmes and Watson are joined by a former adversary now turned ally, the beautiful, brilliant, all-knowing Irene Adler, heroine of an earlier Doyle story. Through her, the two men discover the true nature of their existence, as well as the fact that Holmes himself is Doyle’s intended victim. It is up to Holmes, aided by Irene Adler and Watson, to find a way to cross the border between the world of the imagination, in which they exist, and the real world of Arthur Conan Doyle, if they hope to escape their creator’s murderous scheme.

Book Description
San Cassimally reunites detective Sherlock Holmes and the ingenious Irene Adler in a series of seven riveting mysteries. But the pair doesn't always work in unison. Holmes, constrained by the rule of law, must rely on his observational skills, logic, and scientific knowledge to crack each case. Adler, working in a less official capacity, is not beneath using unconventional tactics. The result is the classic banter that Holmes fans have enjoyed for decades. In the investigator's latest thrilling adventures, Holmes has to take action when he fears that Adler plans to wreak dire vengeance on an evil politician. What follows is a two-pronged race to find answers as the two investigate cases of murder, corruption, injustice, and supernatural manifestations. In more than just a game of cat and mouse, the dynamic investigators come together to explore the Victorian era's darker side as they investigate cases of child exploitation by nobility and take a stand for those who cannot defend themselves. While Adler's resourcefulness and ingenuity prepare her for almost every situation, she isn't ready for the painful truth about Mycroft Holmes as she investigates the death of a young man. Following the compelling Irene Adler Trilogy, Cassimally's latest page-turning mysteries give Sherlock Holmes fans another reason to celebrate the intriguing duo.

Book Description
Irene Adler is the only woman ever to have outwitted Sherlock Holmes... and the one who has come closest to stealing his heart. She has competed (and sometimes cooperated) with the famous fictional detective over six popular and acclaimed novels, featuring her daring investigations across the Continent. All along, the beautiful and brilliant American diva-turned-detective has managed to conceal her background and history, even from her dashing barrister husband, Godfrey Norton, and her devoted companion and biographer, English spinster Nell Huxleigh. But she has had some help along the way to do this, from such unlikely sources as the Baron de Rothschild, Sarah Bernhardt, and Bram Stoker, as well as the soon-to-be-infamous Nellie Bly, a daring American journalist who helped Irene hunt Jack the Ripper. Now Nellie has wired Irene some astounding news, news that will shake her world: Irene's mother is the target of an assassin. Irene's past is shrouded in secrecy, and at first she is unwilling to divulge anything that would link her to America. But a series of bizarre killings in New York City draws her reluctantly back to her native country, where she must race with a murderer to find her mother, a woman of mystery who may turn out to be the most notorious woman of the nineteenth century. As Irene forges a trail into her own hidden past, Nellie Bly draws another ace investigator across the Atlantic to join in the hunt for a serial killer, the last man on earth Irene Adler wants to discover anything about her shocking past... Sherlock Holmes. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
