Good Night, Mr. Holmes
Autor Carole Nelson Douglasen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 noi 2009
Miss Irene Adler, the beautiful American opera singer who once outwitted Sherlock Holmes, is also a superb detective, as Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker can attest. Even Holmes himself must admit--albeit grudgingly--that she acquits herself competently.
But in matters of the heart she encounters difficulty. The Crown Prince of Bohemia--tall, blonde, and handsome--proves to be a cad. Will dashing barrister Godfrey Norton be able to convince Irene that not all handsome men are cut from the same broadcloth?

Descriere
The classic first adventure of Mrs. Irene Adler--the beautiful American opera singer who is the only person to have ever bested Sherlock Holmes--is back in print. A "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year. Reissue.
Notă biografică
From USA Today bestseller Carole Nelson Douglas in fall, 2018, comes Absinthe Without Leave, the first book in a new Midnight Louie feline PI series readers requested. Douglas writes two Las Vegas-set series: the alphabetically titled 28 Midnight Louie feline PI mysteries partially narrated by a "Sam Spade with claws", and the Delilah Street Paranormal Investigator noir urban fantasies (werewolf mobsters and Silver Screen zombies) set in a paranormal Sin City. Absinthe Without Leave combines the two series. Douglas has also written science fiction thrillers and high fantasy, historical and contemporary romance.
She's the first woman author of a Sherlockian series and the first to use a female protagonist (Holmes' out-witter Irene Adler), with the New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. A four-time Romance Writers Rita Award finalist in four different categories, with RT Book Reviews Career Achievement awards in Suspense, Mystery, Versatility and as a Pioneer of Publishing, and the holder of many Catwriters' Association Muse Medallions in fiction, Carole rescues cats and works at home among mannequins in vintage dress. She does a wicked Marilyn Monroe impersonation (she edited a short story collection on the iconic star), but her literary muse is definitely feline: mysterious, playful, and packing sharp shivs in velvet gloves.
